The ICRC has called for urgent protection of civilians in the West Bank due to surging violence, increased movement restrictions, and accelerated settlement expansion. This year, dozens of Palestinians have been killed and hundreds injured, with many more displaced. In the Gaza Strip, over 46,500 children have had their education interrupted due to school closures.

The combination of violence, movement restrictions, and settlement expansion creates an untenable living situation for civilians in the West Bank. Humanitarian funding for the response remains well below requirements.

Civilians in the West Bank face serious harm, including fatalities, injuries, and displacement. In Gaza, approximately 771,200 pre-school and school-aged children require education support for the upcoming school year.

The specific details regarding the nature and extent of displacement in the West Bank are not yet covered in recent reporting.
