Ramallah, August 9 (RHC)-- The UN’s humanitarian agency (OCHA) said the number of Palestinians displaced in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has more than doubled since October 7 compared with the preceding 10 months.

Some 3,070 Palestinians have been forced from their homes due to demolitions, Israeli settler violence and land confiscations in the past 10 months, compared with 1,252 in the previous period, OCHA said.

The agency added that some 181,000 people in the West Bank have been impacted at least once by demolitions, destruction of roads, water and sanitation facilities, and other public infrastructure since October 7, mainly during Israeli military raids in Tulkarem and Jenin.
