The West Bank is undergoing an alarming spill over of the Gaza war.<\/p>\n

More than 50 people, including children, have been reported killed since the Israeli Forces\u2019 operation started 5 weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Destruction of public infrastructure, bulldozing roads and access restrictions are common place.<\/p>\n

People\u2019s lives have been turned upside down, bringing back traumas and loss.<\/p>\n

Around\u00a0 40,000 people have been forced to flee their homes especially in refugee camps in the north.<\/p>\n

Fear, uncertainty, and\u00a0grief once again prevail.<\/p>\n

Affected camps lie in ruins.<\/p>\n

More than 5,000 children\u00a0who normally go to ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA schools have been deprived of education, some for over 10 weeks now.<\/p>\n

Patients cannot access healthcare, families are cut off from water, electricity and other basic services.<\/p>\n

More and more people are relying\u00a0on humanitarian aid at a time when aid agencies are overstretched and\u00a0severely under-resourced.<\/p>\n

Our ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA\u00a0 teams are tracking displaced people and continue to provide them with much needed food, health care, and\u00a0basics to keep them warm.<\/p>\n

The West Bank is becoming a battlefield: ordinary Palestinians are the first and most to suffer.<\/p>\n

This must end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
