World Vision Reports Three Years of Emergency Response in West Bank Amid Rising Violence and Displacement

World Vision’s latest report documents a worsening humanitarian situation in the West Bank over the past three years. Between January and September 2026, 90 Palestinians, including 19 children, were killed and about 2,100 injured, while more than 1,600 attacks were recorded in over 275 communities—approaching the total for the most violent year since 2006. Roughly 33,000 people remain displaced from the Jenin, Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps. Demolitions in Area C and East Jerusalem now exceed twice the 15‑year average, and 925 movement restrictions have been imposed, 43 % above the 20‑year average. Economic hardship is widespread: 79 % of households live below the Minimum Expenditure Basket, 12 % face poor food consumption, and 69 % rely on crisis coping strategies. Essential services are collapsing, with 124 attacks on health care facilities and over 190 water and sanitation structures damaged. World Vision’s response—spanning emergency aid, education, mental‑health support, healthcare and community preparedness—works with local partners, health providers and Civil Defence volunteers to meet urgent needs and build resilience.
