The International Committee of the Red Cross expresses its concern over the impact of a weeks-long Israeli offensive in the West Bank that has displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians.
“The International Committee of the Red Cross is deeply concerned with the impact of ongoing security operations on the civilian population in Jenin and Tulkarem, Tubas and other locations in northern West Bank,” it says, adding that “people are struggling to access basic needs such as clean water, food, medical care and shelter.”
The IDF launched its ongoing counter-terror offensive in the northern West Bank, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, on January 21.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees said last week that more than 40,100 Palestinians have been displaced since the start of the operation, allegedly the largest displacement since the Six Day War in 1967.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
