<p>Demolitions of Palestinian homes and buildings, and evictions of the residents,
cause unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians, are harmful to the peace process
and, in most circumstances, are contrary to international humanitarian law. According
to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian affairs, 97 structures
were demolished or seized in the West Bank in the first quarter of 2018 (January-March),
including homes and livelihood structures. The humanitarian effects include impact
to children’s education, displacement, psychological distress and damage of livelihoods.
The UK continues to make clear to the Israeli authorities our serious concerns over
the demolitions and evictions of Palestinians from their homes.</p>
