More Than 3,000 Palestinians Forced From Their Homes in Hebron Crackdown: UN Rights Chief Warns of Ethnic Cleansing
An Israeli crackdown in the West Bank city of Hebron has displaced thousands of Palestinians, with the number forced from their homes passing 3,000, UN News reported in its Daily Wrap on October 26; UN human rights chief Volker Türk warned of ethnic cleansing. The escalation comes on the eve of Israeli elections.
In another item, the Wrap reported that around 36,600 people have fled into northern Kenya following an uptick in fighting on the Ethiopian side of the border. The same Wrap also noted a new head of the UN food programme and the conclusion of the UN mission in Somalia.
