The UN Human Rights Office has expressed "concern" that over 80 Palestinian families face eviction from their homes in the Silwan area of occupied East Jerusalem.
It said in a statement that 87 Palestinian families, comprising 600-680 individuals, are facing legal proceedings initiated by settlers to evict them from their homes in Batn al-Hawa.
It added that these cases are part of "an ongoing systematic settlers' campaign" to "uproot Palestinians from their homes, take over their property and implant Israeli settlers in the heart of Palestinian neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem."
