There’s been a dramatic rise in the number of Palestinians who have been made homeless following demolitions by Israeli forces in the West Bank.

The UN’s humanitarian affairs office (OCHA) says almost 1,100 Palestinians were displaced in 2011, that’s 80 per cent more than the previous year.

Half of those people were children.

Reem Abaza asked Ramesh Rajasingham Head of OCHA in the Occupied Palestinian Territory for more details about the demolitions.
