Doctors Without Borders, or Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF), says the blockade caused by Israel’s military operation in the Jenin refugee camp, in the northern occupied West Bank, is leading to a shortage of key supplies, Al Jazeera reports.

“Since the ceasefire was implemented in Gaza, there has been an escalation of extreme violence occurring across the West Bank, particularly in Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas,” it said in a statement.

“This is unacceptable,” it added, noting that the Israeli army yesterday destroyed 23 buildings by carrying out several simultaneous attacks in the Jenin refugee camp.

The organisation said it has been supporting Jenin Hospital with fuel and water, as well as providing hygiene kits, food and mattresses to residents in Jenin and Tulkarem camps.
