Israel's assaults trigger biggest displacement wave in West Bank since 1967: UNRWA


UNRWA announced in a statement on Friday that the Israeli Forces' large-scale ongoing attacks that started in Jenin camp and other areas in the north on January 21 have made it by far the single longest aggression against the West Bank since the second intifada in the early 2000s. This has resulted in the largest wave of displacement since the 1967 Six-Day War between the Israeli regime and a coalition of Arab countries (primarily Egypt, Syria, and Jordan), which led to the Israeli occupation and annexation of Palestinian territories in a move not recognized internationally, it pointed out. Since the beginning of the Gaza war in October 2023, the actions of the Israeli army and illegal settlers have led to the deaths of more than 944 Palestinians, with over 7,000 individuals sustaining injuries in the occupied West Bank.
