Overview

The main drivers of humanitarian needs in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, remain the Israeli use of force, the expansion of Israeli settlements and settler violence, demolitions and confiscations, and access and movement restrictions. Each of these factors contributes to loss of life, injury, restrictions on access to livelihoods and essential services and displacement or forced eviction. 2023 was the worst year for Palestinians in the West Bank since 2005 based on the major Protection of Civilians indicators monitored by OCHA and driving humanitarian needs.

Violence in the West Bank has notably escalated since the renewed hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups in Gaza on 7 October, when Palestinian armed groups in Gaza launched thousands of rockets towards Israel and breached the perimeter fence of Gaza in multiple locations. Over 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals were killed and another 240 were held captive in Gaza. Israel declared a state of war alert and has since begun heavy Israeli bombardments across Gaza, resulting in at least 24,100 Palestinian fatalities and more than 60,800 injuries as of 15 January 2024, according to Ministry of Health in Gaza.
