OCHA: Over 4,300 Palestinians displaced in West Bank in 2026
The Palestinian Displacement Department in the West Bank has recorded a significant increase since the beginning of 2026, due to demolition operations, attacks by Israeli settlers, and restrictions on access to land and essential resources. Over 4,300 Palestinians have been displaced, and approximately 1,164 facilities have been demolished under the pretext of lack of permits, leading to the displacement of more than 1,600 people since the start of the year. Additionally, settler attacks have risen notably, with the United Nations documenting more than 1,600 assaults up to September 14, averaging 6.7 attacks per day. A total of 275 Palestinian communities have been targeted, the highest rate recorded since the beginning of the documentation of these assaults in 2006. The displacement processes are continuously escalating, especially through increased demolition activities and attacks on Palestinian communities, with these acts resulting in the isolation of residents and reduced access to their livelihoods and essential services.
