Forced evictions transgress the Covenant\u00a0on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, to which Israel is party. Israel\u2019s claim that the\u00a0Covenant does not apply in the occupied territory has been rejected by all human rights\u00a0treaty oversight bodies.<\/p>\n<p>The Palestinian Bedouins are the most deprived ethnic group in the occupied<br \/>\nterritory, residing in the Area C of the West Bank. More than 80% of the Bedouins\u00a0are registered as 1948 refugees originally from the Negev. Over 66% are children.\u00a0The communities have all lost access to land due to settlement expansion. Most have\u00a0demolition orders against their homes. None have access to the electricity network and\u00a0only half are connected to the water network. Despite receiving humanitarian assistance,\u00a055% of Bedouin communities in Area C are food insecure. The communities are<br \/>\nlocated in an area intended for further Israeli settlement expansion, as set forth in the E1\u00a0plan that envisages a major expansion of the unlawful Ma\u2019ale Adumim settlement.
