OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs (OCHA) warned that hundreds of Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem are threatened with displacement because of Israeli intentions to demolish their homes at the pretext of unlicensed construction.

A report issued by OCHA revealed that the Israeli municipal council in the holy city issued 17 demolition orders against Palestinian homes in Silwan neighborhood.

The report said that 90 Palestinian homes received demolition orders in recent years, which puts them at risk of displacement.

It added that since the beginning of 2009, Israel removed 75 Palestinian structures in east Jerusalem which led to the displacement of 269 Palestinians including 131 children.
