The report also found a sharp rise in Palestinian child fatalities, with children accounting for more than one in five Palestinians killed during the 20-year period covered by the data. It also documented the displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians, growing detentions, and increasingly restrictive movement controls across the occupied territory.
Oxfam says there are now 925 checkpoints across Palestine’s occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, a 43% increase on the long-term annual average, restricting the movement of more than three million Palestinians.
About 500,000 illegal Israeli occupiers live in illegal settlements across Palestine’s occupied West Bank, while another 250,000 live in illegal settlements built on Palestinian land in occupied East Jerusalem.
