180 Palestinian households in East Jerusalem have eviction cases filed against them, putting 818 Palestinians at risk of displacement. 986 Palestinian structures in the West Bank demolished or confiscated by Israel in 2016, the highest since OCHA began recording in 2009. Two years since the 2014 hostilities, about 4,500 IDPs in Gaza still live in dilapidated caravans and are exposed to weather extremes. Thousands of households across the Gaza Strip are not connected to the sewage network, raising serious sanitation concerns.
