Doctors Without Borders (MSF) denounced the “extremely precarious” situation of Palestinians displaced by the ongoing Israeli military operation in the occupied West Bank, AFP reports.

The situation of the displaced Palestinians is “extremely precarious”, said MSF, which is operating in the area.

Palestinians “are without proper shelter, essential services, and access to healthcare”, the NGO said. “The mental health situation is alarming.”

MSF said the scale of forced displacement and destruction of camps “has not been seen in decades” in the West Bank.

“People are unable to return to their homes as Israeli forces have blocked access to the camps, destroying homes and infrastructure,” said MSF Director of Operations Brice de la Vingne. “Israel must stop this, and the humanitarian response needs to be scaled up.”
