Freedom of movement is “massively restricted” in the West Bank, having a major impact on Palestinian’s daily lives, and “implications on everything from education to family unification”.

Speaking to UN News’s Khaled Mohamed, Ajith Sunghay, Head of the UN human rights office, OHCHR, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, underscored that massive movement restrictions escalated even further following the Hamas-led terror attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023.

Elaborating also on the situation in Gaza, Mr. Sunghay said that the documentation of violations has never stopped, but the holding ceasefire allows for “the possibility of information sharing.”
