Humanitarian Situation Update #258

West Bank

23 January 2025

Key Highlights

• Since the beginning of January, Israeli forces killed 34 Palestinians, including six children, in the West Bank. These include twelve Palestinians killed since the onset of the Israeli forces’ operation in Jenin City and camp on 21 January. 

• A surge in Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians and their property resulted in the injury of at least 17 Palestinians and damage to multiple structures, including houses and vehicles, over the past week. 

• Severe movement restrictions by Israeli forces across the West Bank, characterised by road closures, prolonged delays at checkpoints, and installation of new gates at village entrances, are impeding Palestinians’ access to basic services and workplaces.  

• Access to healthcare in the West Bank is deteriorating, due to a fiscal crisis and movement restrictions, with 68% of health service points now unable to function for more than two or three days a week, and hospitals functioning at only 70% of their capacity. 

Latest Developments (after 20 January 2025)

On 21 January, the Israeli military announced the beginning of operation “Iron Wall” in Jenin, which included helicopter gunfire and airstrikes alongside ground force operations. Multiple airstrikes were carried out on Jenin city, camp and nearby locations. The Ministry of Health (MoH) confirmed that 12 Palestinians were killed and at least 50 others were injured. According to the MoH, Jenin Governmental Hospital is surrounded by Israeli forces, with damage to the road infrastructure around it. Patients, medical staff and companions are trapped inside the hospital, unable to leave. The main roads to the hospital have been destroyed, and rubble blocks the entrance, preventing the delivery of food, medical supplies, and urgent necessities. The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that Israeli forces have obstructed the movement of its ambulances. There are some 600 people, including women, children, elderly and patients who are currently seeking shelter within the premises of Jenin Governmental Hospital, primarily in its yard. The hospital’s facilities are overwhelmed and unable to provide adequate shelter or food for the displaced people. The operation continued in Ti’nnik (Jenin) where multiple houses were encircled by Israeli forces, resulting in the killing of a 29-year-old Palestinian from Jenin refugee camp, whose body was withheld, and the arrest of two others, including a 17-year-old child. On 22 January, operations also extended to Birqin village, west of Jenin city, where Israeli forces killed another two Palestinians.
