The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned that Israeli forces are using “lethal war-like tactics”, including air strikes, in the occupied West Bank, with people being killed, injured, displaced or deprived of access to basic services, Al Jazeera reports.

The Israeli military’s latest assault across the occupied West Bank is now in its eighth day. At least 33 Palestinians have been killed and 130 wounded since last Wednesday, the vast majority in Jenin.

The statement added that OCHA mobilised organisations from the UN and beyond to assess the damage and humanitarian needs on the ground, adding that during a visit to Tulkarem on Saturday, it was confirmed that 120 people, including more than 40 children, had been displaced and their homes destroyed.

It added that residents were traumatised and in need of psychosocial support.
