UN calls on Israel to protect Palestinian families amid settler attacks in West Bank village

LONDON: The UN human rights office on Thursday urged Israeli authorities to protect Palestinian families trapped in their homes for days by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, amid what it described as an intensifying campaign to seize Palestinian land. Three families, comprising about 15 people, including at least two children, were confined to their homes in the Ras Al-Ein area of Qusra, a village south of Nablus, “in a state of terror,” the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said. Settlers had cut off their electricity and water, according to media reports.
