JERUSALEM, Tuesday, June 7, 2022 (WAFA) – Heads of Mission and representatives from the EU and like-minded countries visited residents in Wadi Qaddoum, part of Silwan in East Jerusalem, where 74 Palestinians are at risk of imminent displacement.

The visit was jointly organized by the Israeli NGOs Ir Amim and Bimkom and was also joined by UN OCHA.
