UN warns of increase in West Bank attacks on farmers
Independent experts affiliated with the United Nations have highlighted the increasing risks facing Palestinian farmers in the West Bank during the olive harvest season. This is due to escalating attacks by settlers and imposed restrictions. They pointed out that more than 6,000 olive trees have been destroyed, the highest rate in six years, and that orders have been issued by occupation authorities to remove vegetation from areas covering up to 339,000 square meters of cultivated land, especially in Jenin, Qabatiya, and Beit Rima. They emphasized that the olive season is a primary source of food security and income for Palestinian families, and that violence and restrictions are hindering farmers' access to their lands. They warned that continued violations will have a negative impact on Palestinian agricultural heritage. The experts called on the international community to pressure to halt land expansion practices and hold those responsible for violations accountable.
