Doctors Without Borders called on the Israeli government to immediately stop demolishing Palestinian homes, schools, property, and infrastructure in Masafer Yatta, and to stop issuing new demolition orders, and to comply with international and humanitarian law.

Doctors Without Borders, during a documentary report presented today, Sunday, in its office in the city of Hebron, denounced the Israeli policies, and called on the occupation authorities to immediately stop forced displacement plans, and called on the international community to take all necessary measures to protect the population and ensure respect for their human rights.

The head of the Doctors Without Borders mission in Palestine, David Cantero, called on the Israeli authorities to immediately stop the demolition, to follow international law and human rights law, and to stop the demolition of schools, homes, and night raids in Masafer Yatta.

He pointed out that the occupation authorities are imposing enormous pressure on the residents of Masafer Yatta to leave the area, which may amount to a forced transfer, which is prohibited under international and humanitarian law.

He explained that the occupation authorities have intensified their measures since May 2022, after the "Israeli Supreme" issued a ruling to remove all legal restrictions that impede the forced displacement of Palestinians in the region, which affected the mental health of the population, and their access to basic services, including medical care. .

The report included individual interviews and focused discussions with residents of the villages of Masafer Yatta (Umm Qassah, Umm al-Khair, al-Majaz, al-Markaz, Sha'ab al-Butum, and Wasfiya al-Fawqa), documenting their suffering from repressive measures and political violence from the occupation and settlers, with the aim of forced displacement.

The organization called on the international community to intervene urgently, especially the three parties (the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations), by pressuring Israel to stop violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law in Masafer Yatta, and to demand accountability for the demolition of donor-funded buildings in Masafer Yatta.
