| UN: Humanitarian aid to Palestinians ‘at an all-time low | | Fidaa Shurrab - +972 Magazine - The funding crisis is particularly
devastating in the Gaza Strip, where humanitarian officials say
basic services such as education, health, and food security have
been reduced to a minimum. funding for NGOS in the besieged enclave
was halved in 2016, compared to the previous year. The lack of
funding means that the remaining aid has gone almost exclusively to
addressing short-term needs and emergency response projects. Doing
so takes away from humanitarian organizations’ sustainability and
development goals. 1.57 million of the Gaza Strip’s 1.8 million
residents rely on humanitarian assistance. The unemployment rate in
the Gaza Strip has reached 32.4 percent — the highest it has been in
two decades. The combination of Israel’s siege and internal
Palestinian divisions means that the NGO sector often has to provide
basic services in place of the weakened Hamas government. The
majority of the employment programs in the Palestinian territories
depend on international financial aid, but the funding cuts have
created a situation where a number of organizations are dramatically
decreasing their services. [ak] | 30/10/2018 |

| Israeli border policewoman arrested on suspicion of shooting Palestinian for fun | | Josh Breiner - Haaretz - The incident occurred in May, when the policewoman, who is around 20, was on duty near the Al-Zaim checkpoint outside of Jerusalem. She allegedly shot the Palestinian for no apparent reason and seriously wounded him. The policewoman was arrested along with four colleagues who were with her at the time of the incident.

"Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s recent op-ed in the Jerusalem
Post – designed to whitewash the war crime of the destruction of an
entire Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank – is riddled
with lies and distortions...contrary to Liberman’s hollow claims,
this is a question neither of “the rule of law” nor of “the well-
being of these people themselves.” The rule of law, in any
meaningful sense, has been absent from Palestinians’ lives in the
occupied territories ever since 1967." ca | 13/10/2018 |

| In photos: Khan al-Ahmar prepares for demolition after decade-long battle to remain | | Thomas Dallal -
Mondoweiss
"A tiny Palestinian Bedouin town located in the West Bank hills outside
of Jerusalem is bracing for an impending eviction to make way for plans
to expand an Israeli settlement. The case reached its endpoint on
Monday when the deadline ordered by Israel’s high court expired on the
community of Khan al-Ahmar to vacate and demolish their own homes and
an elementary school.The ruling comes after a lengthy court battle that
began in 2009, where Israel seeks to transfer the Bedouin community to
a nearby reservation of apartment units adjacent to an unofficial
municipal dump. For the Bedouins, the move would devastate the herding
community, making it impossible to bring along their main source of
income, their grazing animals." ca
