Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa discussed with a delegation from Tulkarm Governorate, in his office in Ramallah, on Wednesday, enhancing relief efforts for our people who were forcibly displaced from their homes as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its two camps.

The delegation included Tulkarm Governor Abdullah Kamil, Fatah Regional Secretary in the governorate Iyad Jarad, and heads of the popular committees in Tulkarm camps Faisal Salama and Nour Shams Nihad Shawish. The delegation also included Ahmed Abu Holi, head of the Department of Refugee Affairs, Nasser Qatami, Prime Minister's Advisor for Arab Funds, and members of the Ministerial Committee for Emergency Action in the Northern West Bank.

The Prime Minister stressed the need for everyone to cooperate in shouldering their responsibility to provide relief to our people, particularly in the camps in the northern West Bank. He emphasized that sheltering the displaced is a top priority, along with continuing to provide emergency relief and preparing for the reconstruction phase, which will begin immediately after the withdrawal of the occupation forces from the camps.

The meeting focused on unifying efforts and intensifying action plans to establish new shelters and provide them with basic services. It was agreed to begin providing prefabricated homes (caravans) in conjunction with the preparation of appropriate land and necessary infrastructure, with these homes distributed across various locations.

A team from the Ministry of Public Works is leading the technical preparations for the establishment of these temporary centers for displaced families. This process is based on a census of families in need of temporary shelter conducted by the governorate's emergency committee, with active participation from the popular committees in the Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps.

The emergency committees in the northern governorates and the popular committees will work to meet the urgent needs of the displaced, utilizing emergency financial payments allocated by the government to address emergency needs in the northern West Bank governorates, in addition to other allocations disbursed to the municipalities of Jenin, Tulkarm, Qabatiya, Al-Far'a, and Tammun, to address the effects of the ongoing Israeli aggression on these areas.

In this context, the attendees stressed the need for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to fulfill its responsibilities towards our people in the camps and to enhance its service and relief efforts for more than 40,000 displaced persons from the camps in the northern West Bank.

It's worth noting that the Ministerial Committee for Emergency Action, in cooperation with the governorate and local authorities, is in constant session and coordinating around the clock to adapt the necessary interventions to provide relief to our people who have been forced by the occupation to flee their homes in the camps in the northern West Bank.
