A senior UN official has expressed concern over recent clashes between Israeli soldiers and international activists who tried to aid Palestinians.
"The Israeli ban of activists of an international human rights organisation, who brought a car that carried tents to help the residents in the Jordan Valley, was disappointing," reported Xinhua citing James Rowley, UN coordinator for human rights affairs in the Palestinian territories.
On Friday, the activists tried to help residents of Jordan Valley in the West Bank to rebuild their destroyed tents.
"The UN expresses deep concerns towards what happened on Friday, as international rights activists were trying to help the Palestinians, including 16 children, who became homeless after their tents were destroyed by Israel last week," the offical said.
