URGENT UPDATE
Imminent Humanitarian Crisis as Israel Re-Occupies West Bank
Internationals Take Action in Ramallah
March 31st 2001
As the Israeli army starts it process of reoccupation, they are creating a
humanitarian crisis. The main problem is a lack of water as water tanks have been destroyed and the main water supply cut, electricity and telephones
have also been cut, the injured and ill are unable to receive medical care, and food is in short supply. The assault on medical services continues,
with instances of medics being arrested and beaten on the street.
Meanwhile the Israeli soldiers continue their massive scale house-to-house searches detaining men, destroying personal property and terrorizing
the civilian inhabitants - nine Palestinians have thus far been executed.
As the plan to re-occupy is carried out, the assault on Palestinian infrastructure continues, both at the PA and civil society levels. The Ramallah Municipality has been attacked and burned, as have the Chamber of Commerce building, Al-Amal Rehabilitation Center, and others. This morning the Human Rights Organisation, Al Haq, was invaded; currently the army is invading Ramallah hospital.
Furthermore, in an attempt to prevent information about events on the ground from being reported, members of the press are being deliberately
impeded from working.
The situation is dire - the Israeli army is carrying out a war against the Palestinian people. Sharon is implementing complete occupation of the
West Bank, and it is probable that these criminal actions will continue for weeks.
Word has just reached us that 40 members of the Grassroots International Protection for Palestinians (GIPP), including nationals of France, Italy and
Ireland, have managed to enter the PA headquarters (the �Muqataa�) and refuse to leave. This means that whatever happens to Mr. Arafat will
also happen to them. 15 other internationals have joined medical teams and are moving around the town protecting the medical teams as they provide
medical assistance. | |
