2 February 2001 (A/ES-10/57, S/2001/101)
Letter sent by Dr. Nasser Al-Kidwa, Ambassador and Permanent
Observer of Palestine to the U.N., to the Secretary-General of the United
Nations, the President of the Security Council, and the President of the
General Assembly: (Palestinian Martyrs)
I am writing to you to inform you of even more Palestinian
casualties as a result of the continuing Israeli military campaign against the
Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including Jerusalem.
Although the incidence of casualties has decreased as a result of the
decreased intensity of the Israeli campaign, that campaign has regrettably
continued as have its countless negative consequences.
Since my last letter to you, dated 16 January 2001, on this
grave matter, 9 Palestinian civilians have been killed by the Israeli
occupying forces, bringing the total number of Palestinian martyrs to 341.
(The names of the 9 martyrs are contained in the annex to the present letter.)
Further, in follow up to my previous letters in this regard, dated from 29
September to 16 January 2001 (A/55/432-S/2000/921; A/55/437-S/2000/930;
