Report: Despite the resignation of its head, the US-Israeli forced-displacement "aid" plan for Gaza will go ahead.

Jake Wood resigned, saying the plan contravened humanitarian principles.

The UN et al have refused to work with the plan.

"The international community should instead focus on lifting the Israeli blockade on Gaza."

#Palestine / Hidden displacement: 42,000 Palestinians forced from occupied West Bank homes while 'Israeli public remains inaware'

Israeli physician Bari Danino reports from #Tulkarm that approximately 42,000 Palestinians have been displaced from their homes in West Bank refugee camps in recent months - 22,000 from Tulkarm and Nur al-Shams camps, and 20,000 from Jenin.

Danino observes that "less than an hour's drive from Tel Aviv" and "without the Israeli public being aware," military operations are executing what he describes as "goal No. 5 of the Gaza war: concentration and movement of population." His medical team treated 449 patients, mostly displaced persons lacking basic medications left in abandoned homes.

[…] “Attempts by some residents to return to their homes and retrieve personal belongings have become dangerous operations. They report that soldiers fired even in cases where families were notified about plans to demolish the house and tried to save a few more items. The patients I met are not hungry for bread, but they are hungry for medical care. They come seeking simple pain relievers and their regular medications, which they left behind in their abandoned [forced to abandon, OM] homes."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ongoing home demolitions and infrastructure destruction continue in the northeastern neighborhood while military drones maintain surveillance overhead.

Causing major harms through development projects

"World Bank-funded projects have also continually been found to be in direct, serious violation of international human rights standards. Major recurring issues include mass evictions and the forced displacement of peoples and communities for major infrastructure and agricultural projects (see Observer Spring 2015), violations of the rights of indigenous and forest peoples, targeting of human rights defenders, triggering local food insecurity, and serious labour rights violations, such as child and forced labour reportedly being used in Bank-funded projects (see Observer Winter 2016). The IFC has also been shown on several occasions to have invested in companies that avoid or evade taxes (see Observer Autumn 2016). More recently, the Bank has also acknowledged that its projects can create an environment that can foster gender-based violence, including sexual abuse and the spread of HIV/AIDS (see Observer Spring 2017).

"To safeguard against risks like these, the World Bank launched its revised Environmental and Social Framework in 2018, although it applies only to its project lending and not to its DPF.

"Many in civil society remain unconvinced that the safeguards are fit for purpose if the Bank is to deliver on its mandate to implement policies that benefit the poorest, especially as the Bank is set to focus on more complex and difficult environments from 2018."

[How meaning of “Nakba” evolved]

As time passed, memories of that defeat evolved and the #Nakba became not an #Arab event but a #Palestinian one, and not a humiliating defeat—“seven Arab states declare war on #Zionism in #Palestine [and] stop impotent before it” is how it is described on the first page of #Zureiq’s book—but rather the story of shame and #forcedDisplacement.

⬇️

100000s have been displaced from their homes and many fear the only option is #exile to #Sinai.

But they don’t want that. They say if that happened, they might never come back.

#ForcedExile is horrible ➡️ mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

Like the 15+ MILLION #Hindus and #Muslims #displaced in 1947.

They left everything behind and could never come back after #BritishIndia was partitioned into #India and #Pakistan.
