The repeated incursions by Israeli security forces into Palestinian communities have not been without consequences. A needs assessment conducted by UNRWA on the mental health of Palestine refugee children throughout the West Bank in October and November 2014 found that 37 per cent of sampled Palestine refugee children from camps, and 51 per cent of sampled children from Bedouin communities, reported witnessing Israeli security forces breaking into their homes, while some 13 per cent of sampled refugee and Bedouin children reported witnessing the killing or injury of a relative or friend by explosive objects and materials left behind by the Israeli security forces. It was found that 22 per cent of sampled Palestine refugee children in camps and 44 per cent of sampled Bedouin children were at greater risk of having a psychiatric disorder. Since February 2014, UNRWA has been providing psychosocial counselling services to more than 15,000 children under the age of 18 years in schools, health clinics in refugee camps and other localities. Children reportedly comprise approximately 70 per cent of all counselling cases. The most widely reported symptoms included enuresis and encopresis complaints (24 per cent), behavioural problems (20 per cent) and anxiety complaints (13 per cent). Other issues affecting children identified by UNRWA school counsellors included discipline problems, aggression and poor academic achievement. D. Punitive house demolitions 50. House demolitions ordered by Israel in response to a string of Palestinian attacks on Israelis in recent months are of particular concern to the Special Rapporteur. 33 Between 1 June and 30 November 2014, the Israeli authorities reportedly demolished or sealed five homes, displacing 34 Palestinians, including 16 children. According to the United Nations Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator, as at 3 December 2014, another six families in the West Bank and East Jerusalem were at risk. The home of Abd al-Rahman alShaludi, the Palestinian who allegedly killed a 22-year-old woman and a three-month-old Israeli infant in a car attack in Jerusalem in October, was among those demolished. 51. The justification made by the Israeli authorities for home demolitions is that it serves as a deterrent to prevent future “terrorist” attacks.34 The Special Rapporteur has not, 33 OHCHR, “Palestinian homes must cease to be a target, UN human rights experts say”, 25 November 2014. 34 Human Rights Watch, “Israel: Stop Punitive Home Demolitions”, 22 November 2014. 15
