Israeli Occupation Continues Aggression on Jenin and Its Camp for 83rd Day

Jenin: The Israeli occupation's aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp entered its 83rd consecutive day with the continued bulldozing and burning of homes, and the conversion of others into military barracks.

According to Qatar News Agency, reported Governor of Jenin Kamal Abu Al-Rab as saying that Israeli occupation forces are continuing to destroy and blow up homes in the camp. A few days ago, they destroyed a number of homes in the Al-Damj neighborhood, and their bulldozers have been paving a road in the Jouret Al-Dhahab area for about a week.

He added that the number of displaced persons has reached 21,000, spread throughout the governorate.

The Israeli occupation army continues its military training around the Jalameh military checkpoint, north of Jenin, where it occasionally fires live ammunition into the vicinity of the uninhabited Jenin camp.

It is estimated that 600 homes were destroyed in the camp, while nearly 3,000 housing units were rendered uninhabitable.

According to the data, the economic situation of the 21,000 displaced persons represents a new reality and challenge on the humanitarian level in Jenin, increasing the poverty rate in the Jenin community, especially with the displaced persons losing their jobs and businesses.

The death toll in the governorate has risen to 36, while the occupation continues to launch widespread raids and arrests in the governorate's villages and towns on an almost daily basis.
