NNA - Médecins Sans Frontières (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. 

“This scale of forced displacement and destruction of the camps has not been seen for decades,” says Brice de la Vingne, MSF director of operations. “People are unable to return to their homes as Israeli forces have blocked access to the camps, destroying homes and infrastructure.”

“Camps have become ruins and dust,” says de la Vingne. “Israel must stop this, and the humanitarian response needs to be scaled up.”
