Gaza, Alray – Israeli occupation forces detained Tuesday
morning workers for the United Nations Children’s Fund UNICEF, while on
their way to Khirbet Jenbah east of Yatta.
The forces said the area is a closed military zone.
Ratib Jabour, Spokesman of the popular committee against
settlement in the town of Yatta, said “the occupation forces are still
holding the UNICEF staff until this moment,”
“The staff wanted to be closely observe the living
conditions of the population in Khirbet Jenbah particularly of the
school students, as the school year is to start on August 25th.”
Israeli restrictions on the checkpoints across the occupied
West Bank cause delays and lost man hours for UN staff working there.
Israeli soldiers used to search UN vehicles as a condition
for being allowed through, despite the fact that 1946 Convention on the
Privileges and Immunities of the UN, to which Israel is
signotory, prohibits such searches.
