JENIN, January, 22, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces forced a number of local citizens in neighborhoods inside Jenin camp to evacuate their homes to Wadi Burqin.
Jenin Mayor Mohammad Jarar said in a phone call with WAFA that the occupation forces forced residents to evacuate from neighborhoods on Mahyoub Street, Jabal Abu Dhahir and other areas, after calling on them via loudspeakers to evacuate.
He added that the occupation opened one passage to force residents to take, which is towards the return roundabout in the camp, and then to Wadi Burqin.
Jarar said that the municipality contacted the municipalities of Burqin, Kafr Dan and Araba to send vehicles to transport the evacuated families and secure them in these towns.
He pointed out that the occupation prevents the movement of municipal crews in the field, as they face difficulty in transporting citizens, and several international institutions have been contacted to secure the emergency needs of those who were evacuated.
Jarar said that the continued occupation aggression on the camp means it is difficult to count the number of families forced to evacuate.
He added that 600 citizens have been trapped inside Jenin Governmental Hospital since the aggression began yesterday, Tuesday, and the occupation prevented them from leaving, which led to the hospital being exhausted and food running out completely, but they were allowed to leave this morning after the hospital entrances were closed with dirt barriers.
It is noteworthy that the occupation forces pushed two bulldozers to the entrances to Jenin camp, while evacuation calls continued for residents in several neighborhoods.
The occupation forces stormed the city of Jenin and its camp yesterday, in an unprecedented aggression, accompanied by military bulldozers, coinciding with the flying of occupation drones and warplanes in the airspace, as the death toll from the aggression on its first day reached 10 people, and about 40 injuries.
The occupation army announced yesterday that it had launched an aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp, amid threats from ministers in the occupation government to escalate the situation in the West Bank.
