The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says at least 82 Palestinian families – some 360 people – remain displaced after the deadly raids by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank’s Tulkarem and Tubas.

According to OCHA, Israeli forces damaged 660 housing units in their large-scale incursion. It also warned the school year faces “major challenges”, with 782,000 students affected by movement restrictions and violence by Jewish settlers from illegal settlements.

Additionally, 58 schools are at risk of demolition, it said.
