The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians have reached their highest rate in at least 20 years, with settlers injuring over 220 Palestinians, averaging 44 per month.
Here are some other key points from the agency’s weekly update:
-
The entire Palestinian Bedouin community of Maghayer ad Deir, about 120 people, was forcibly displaced following the establishment of a fourth Israeli settlement outpost near their homes.
-
Israeli-imposed movement restrictions across Salfit governorate disrupt the access of nearly 90,000 people to health care, education and livelihoods.
-
Punitive demolitions by Israeli authorities have displaced about 80 people since the beginning of 2025. So far in May, Israeli forces demolished 50 residential units in Nur Shams refugee camp, while residents of 20 buildings slated for demolition in Tulkarm camp were given three hours to retrieve their belongings.
-
Over 33,000 Palestinians remain displaced and unable to return to Jenin, Nur Shams and Tulkarm camps, Unrwa estimates.
