Israel orders forced displacement from West Bank’s Jenin camp

Jenin Mayor Muhammad Jarar says the Israeli military has forced a number of Palestinians to leave their homes in the Jenin refugee camp to the area of Wadi Burqin on the western outskirts of the city, according to the Wafa news agency.

Jarar said in a phone interview with Wafa that the mass displacement order made via loudspeakers affected the residents of the neighbourhoods in Mahyoub Street, Jabal Abu Dhahir, and other areas.

He added that the soldiers opened one passage out of the camp for the displaced.

Jarar said the municipality contacted the municipalities of Burqin, Kafr Dan and Arrabeh to send vehicles to transport the displaced families and secure them in these towns.

According to Wafa, the mayor pointed out that Israeli forces prevent the movement of municipal crews in Jenin. He also contacted several international institutions to secure the emergency needs of those forcibly evacuated.

Jarar said the ongoing Israeli military operation made it difficult to count the number of families forced to flee.


2,000 families displaced in ‘nearly uninhabitable’ Jenin camp: UNRWA official

The Israeli military’s ongoing raid in the West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp, where 2,000 families are already displaced, has rendered it “nearly uninhabitable”, according to Roland Friedrich, the director of UNRWA affairs for the occupied West Bank. UNRWA is the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

The scale of the operation has made it impossible for UNRWA to provide “full services to the camp” right now, Friedrich added, noting that new Israeli restrictions on UNRWA set to come into effect in a week will further “undermine” the agency’s mission.
