Deputy Governor Faisal Salama of West Bank’s Tulkarem has said the Israeli army is “working to reshape the features and geography of the Tulkarem camp through extensive demolition of Palestinian properties”, Al Jazeera reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

Salama told Anadolu that the Tulkarem camp is going through “a systematic occupation plan, through which new roads are opened on the ruins of the buildings”.

The deputy governor described the Israeli military operation there as “a massacre and an illegal plan carried out amid Arab and international silence”.

“We are living in tragic conditions and a real catastrophe that has targeted women, children, the elderly, and everything,” the Palestinian official said, adding that only 50 families are still in the camp amid a lack of water and electricity.
