Today, Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces began a large-scale demolition of homes in Tulkarm camp, in light of the ongoing aggression against it for the 23rd consecutive day.

The occupation forces had notified the demolition of 14 houses inside the camp, under the pretext of paving a street in the middle of the camp extending from the Agency area to the Balawneh neighborhood.

According to initial estimates monitored based on field observations and official data issued by the Governor of Tulkarm, the number of homes completely destroyed by the occupation during the ongoing aggression on Tulkarm camp was at least 22 homes, 300 homes partially destroyed, and 11 homes burned, while the number of forcibly displaced people was estimated at about 10,450.

The occupation forces deliberately destroyed the infrastructure, water, electricity, sewage and communications networks in the camp.

Tulkarm Governor Abdullah Kamil called on the international community and human rights and humanitarian institutions to pressure the occupation authorities to stop the crime and massacre against Tulkarm camp.

Kamil said in a press statement that the occupation forces aim through these crimes to strike the existential place of the camp, as it is a witness to the crime of the era, which is the Nakba, in addition to targeting the UNRWA institution, and other crimes that are practiced daily against our people everywhere.

He added that all the ongoing aggression carried out by the occupation forces against Tulkarm Governorate, and forcing the residents to forcibly leave Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps for 23 days, is a clear violation of international humanitarian law and all international conventions and norms.

He added: All of this increases our determination to adhere to the fixed and inalienable national rights, until ending the occupation and establishing our independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
