JERUSALEM, Thursday, June 27, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation authorities handed notices today to several Palestinian households in Qalandia refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, ordering demolition of their homes on the pretext of construction without Israeli permission.

The land where the homes slated for demolition are located in Area C of the occupied West Bank, where planning and construction are entirely controlled by the so-called Israeli Civil Administration.

Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem and in parts of the West Bank say it is nearly impossible for them to obtain the required building permits from Israeli authorities.

Israel has been blamed at times for using the pretext of building without a permit to carry out demolitions of Palestinian-owned homes on a regular basis.
