GENEVA, September 4, 2025 (WAFA) – The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) warned on Thursday that Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are being subjected to mass forced displacement by the Israeli military and colonists, raising the threat of ethnic cleansing in the occupied territories.
In an official statement, the organization said that Israeli policies aimed at annexing land in the West Bank constitute a serious breach of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
“During 2025, MSF teams have witnessed policies and practices that are blatantly designed to remove people from their land and prevent any possibility of return,” the statement said.
MSF stressed that ending the Israeli occupation remains the only way to reduce the severe suffering experienced by Palestinians.
The organization urged countries — including the United States and European Union member states — to exert meaningful pressure to stop the practices that harm and displace Palestinians, and to ensure an end to the illegal occupation.
It also noted that the suffering caused by the occupation has become more normalized than ever before, in what MSF described as an alarming trend, based on its 36 years of providing medical and psychological care in Palestine.
