Bethlehem, occupied West Bank – A youth centre in the Palestinian Aida refugee camp has denied reports that Israel has halted plans to demolish a local football pitch, saying it has received no official notifications to that effect.

Munther Amira, the head of the Aida Youth Centre, said on Wednesday that it had not been given any formal document confirming reports, published by some Israeli media outlets, that claimed Israel had responded to international pressure and suspended the demolition order.
