#Palestine / Hidden displacement: 42,000 Palestinians forced from occupied West Bank homes while 'Israeli public remains inaware'
Israeli physician Bari Danino reports from #Tulkarm that approximately 42,000 Palestinians have been displaced from their homes in West Bank refugee camps in recent months - 22,000 from Tulkarm and Nur al-Shams camps, and 20,000 from Jenin.
Danino observes that "less than an hour's drive from Tel Aviv" and "without the Israeli public being aware," military operations are executing what he describes as "goal No. 5 of the Gaza war: concentration and movement of population." His medical team treated 449 patients, mostly displaced persons lacking basic medications left in abandoned homes.
[…] “Attempts by some residents to return to their homes and retrieve personal belongings have become dangerous operations. They report that soldiers fired even in cases where families were notified about plans to demolish the house and tried to save a few more items. The patients I met are not hungry for bread, but they are hungry for medical care. They come seeking simple pain relievers and their regular medications, which they left behind in their abandoned [forced to abandon, OM] homes."
Ongoing home demolitions and infrastructure destruction continue in the northeastern neighborhood while military drones maintain surveillance overhead.
