Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has strongly urged the Israeli occupation to immediately put a stop to the demolition of Palestinian homes, schools, properties, and related structures in Masafer Yatta, located in the southern region of the occupied West Bank.

MSF demanded that the Israeli occupation cease issuing any additional demolition orders and comply with international and humanitarian regulations.

MSF released a documentary report that demanded an immediate end to the Israeli occupation’s enforced displacement schemes.

The organization also implored the international community to take all necessary steps to protect the Palestinians of the area and guarantee their humanitarian rights are respected.

Cantero-Pérez, the Head of Mission for Médecins Sans Frontières in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, demanded that the Israeli occupation take responsibility for their actions as per international and human rights laws, and put an end to the demolitions, including those of schools and residences.

He additionally implored the Israeli occupation to halt their nighttime incursions into Masafer Yatta.

The MSF has strongly urged the United States, the European Union, and the UN to take quick action and apply pressure on the Israeli occupation to cease its disregard for international human rights and humanitarian laws in Masafer Yatta, and to hold them responsible for the destruction of structures which were built with the support of international contributors.
