West Bank Displacement
What are the vulnerable groups being forcibly evicted in the West Bank?
According to a Palestinian resident's testimony, Israeli army forces are compelling vulnerable populations to evacuate their homes in Tulkaram, northern West Bank. Children, women, and elderly individuals are among those being forced to leave their residences during the ongoing military operation. The resident specifically mentions an 80-year-old neighbor who, along with her son in a wheelchair, was forcibly removed from their home, highlighting the particular hardship faced by people with disabilities and the elderly during these evictions. These forced displacements are part of a broader humanitarian crisis that the UN warns is rendering communities uninhabitable.
