Shtayyeh made his call during a meeting in Ramallah with Lynn Hastings, the UN coordinator for humanitarian affairs in Palestine, whose Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs -OCHA has been documenting violations against Palestinians since 2005.

In late October, the UN said that 2022 might be the deadliest year for Palestinians since OCHA began to document violations against Palestinians 17 years ago.
