The UN relief agency UNRWA has condemned Israel's demolition of homes in East Jerusalem, up 45% this year.
It said 396 buildings were razed in 2010, compared with 275 last year, in occupied East Jerusalem and other West Bank areas under Israeli control.
As a result, 561 Palestinians - including 280 children - were displaced, it said
"I call on the Israeli authorities to cease demolitions and evictions in occupied areas which are in contravention of Israel's obligations under international law," UNRWA's West Bank Field Director, Barbara Shenstone, said in a statement.
Ms Shenstone cited the case of the nine-member Subouh family, whose home in the Ras al-Ammoud district of East Jerusalem was destroyed on 21 December.
The family has been living on their property in two tents after the Jerusalem municipality gave them 24 hours to demolish their home, she said.
The family destroyed the house themselves at a cost of 60,000 shekels ($17,000; 11,000), rather than pay the municipality to do so, which costs twice as much, she added.
Out of the 250,000 Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, the UN says, 60,000 are at risk of having their homes demolished by the Israeli authorities.
