Tulkarm – Saba:
For the 158th consecutive day in Tulkarm and its camps (Tulkarm Camp and Nur Shams), and the 145th day in Nur Shams Camp, Israeli occupation forces continue their escalating aggression, carrying out raids, arrests, and systematic destruction of infrastructure.
This has led to a worsening humanitarian catastrophe and the displacement of thousands.
Researcher Riam Badou, speaking to the Palestinian news agency "Shehab," stated, "The aggression continues daily, leaving widespread destruction in residential buildings and infrastructure, along with mass displacement under harsh humanitarian conditions." Badou revealed that "over 1,000 residential buildings have been completely demolished, each housing three to four families, leaving them homeless."
She added that "the number of displaced people in Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps has exceeded 25,000, living in extremely dire humanitarian conditions amid a lack of aid and Israeli restrictions on relief efforts."
Badou accused the Israeli occupation of "attempting to alter the demographic character of Nur Shams Camp by constructing new streets and roads inside the camp, a move aimed at erasing its symbolic significance as a living testament to the Palestinian refugee cause."
In a legal development, Badou noted that an Israeli court recently issued a temporary freeze on demolition orders for 104 residential buildings in Tulkarm Camp after occupation forces had ordered their destruction. The court gave the prosecution until September 2 to justify the planned demolitions.
In the latest escalation, on the evening of Thursday, July 3, 61-year-old citizen Waleed Hassan Saad Badeer was martyred by Israeli forces' gunfire near Nur Shams Camp, east of Tulkarm, in ongoing violence that has persisted for over five months.
