OCHA reports attacks?by?Israeli?settlers in the?West Bank?continue to cause Palestinian casualties,?displacement?and property damage.

Yesterday,?the?UN?Deputy Special Coordinator,?Ramiz Alakbarov,?said?in a statement that arson attacks on two mosques near Ramallah are unacceptable and must be condemned.

Since this Sunday,?four mosques have been affected by arson attacks?– all in Ramallah governorate.

Dr. Alakbarov?warned of a?worrying?escalation of violence that must be stopped urgently.?He stressed that such acts threaten the fabric of communities and risk further inflaming tensions. And?he?called for accountability for perpetrators.

Last Friday, also in the Ramallah area, two Palestinian herding families – two women and eight children – were forced to relocate for the second time this year due to settler attacks and intimidation.

Further north, in Tulkarm, Israeli forces yesterday allowed displaced Palestinians to access their homes in two refugee camps to retrieve personal belongings. Local partners assess that some 65 families were permitted entry for a limited time, more than a year after their initial displacement.

According to the UN Reliefs and Works Agency, more than 33,000 Palestinians from these camp areas as well as from Jenin Camp have been displaced and not allowed to return since January 2025.

Health?partners?report that, as of Sunday,?more than 30 emergency medical teams were deployed across the Gaza Strip.

Partners working on sexual and reproductive health are maintaining services through hundreds of medical points. This includes 10 mobile units that help reach areas with limited access.

Health partners?also say they are expanding mental health?and?psychosocial?support?services?for children and adolescents.

At the same time, they?warn that?certain health supplies?are running low, particularly items that are difficult to bring in.?These?include?high-level disinfectants?needed for surgeries,?insulin?and hemodialysis supplies for the treatment of?non-communicable diseases,?as well as?artificial?limbs?and?rehabilitation equipment.

WHO?recently?took?120 wheelchairs into Gaza; however, partners report that?assistive devices?often?wear out?or?break down within weeks due to the?damaged and uneven?surfaces they are used on.?With the scale of injuries from?hostilities over recent years, the number of people requiring such devices is significantly?higher?than?what?can be?brought in.
