Demolition of Buildings


EAPPI works in cooperation with UN-OCHA (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. 


Information about demolished homes and buildings comes to us from many sources.  We process incident reports.  Our reports are used my many groups including the United Nations.
 
This past week we went to a farmer’s field.  He has put a lot of work into his agriculture livelihood. 
 










He erected a building to store his equipment.  It was s place where he could get a respite from the sun. 






The Israeli army came and destroyed his agriculture building. 




He had not been informed about the pending demolition.  However, later he found a demolition order that had been left on the ground near his building.  


Israel's army continues to destroy Palestinian homes and buildings.  The Bethlehem EAPPI team has been involved in three reports in my short time here.
