Beirut: M©decins Sans Fronti¨res (MSF) warns that tens of thousands of displaced people in northern parts of the West Bank, Palestine, are without proper shelter, essential services, and access to healthcare. Following the January 2025 ceasefire in Gaza, Israel launched the 'Iron Wall' military operation in the occupied West Bank, forcibly displacing thousands of people, and leaving them in an extremely precarious situation. Israel must immediately halt the forcible displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank, and the humanitarian response must be scaled up and reach those in need.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, MSF highlighted the unprecedented scale of forced displacement and destruction in the area, which has not been witnessed for decades. Brice de la Vingne, MSF director of operations, expressed concern over the inability of people to return to their homes due to Israeli forces blocking access to the camps and destroying homes and infrastructure.
De la Vingne further emphasized the dire conditions in the camps, stating, 'Camps have become ruins and dust.' MSF is urging Israel to cease these actions and calling for an increased humanitarian response to address the urgent needs of those displaced.
