Escalation of violence in the West Bank
- Escalating violence in the West Bank threatens to collapse the health system.
- The West Bank is facing the worst violence since the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) records began in 2005.
- The fighting is taking place close to hospitals and is obstructing ambulances, which restricts Palestinians’ access to urgent medical care.
- Some of our partners have been forced to halt their work, while others are surging medical supplies to impacted hospitals.
