JERUSALEM, August 6, 2026 (WAFA) — The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said on Thursday that 48 Palestinians have been injured since Israeli occupation forces launched their ongoing military raid on Qalandia refugee camp and the town of Kafr Aqab, north of occupied Jerusalem, on Wednesday.
In a brief statement, the PRCS said 35 people who were severely beaten were transferred to hospitals, while six others who sustained injuries from beatings were treated at the scene. The casualties also included one person injured by a rubber-coated metal bullet and six cases of tear gas inhalation.
The PRCS added that, since midnight on Wednesday, its ambulance crews had repeatedly been prevented from reaching patients and the injured due to restrictions imposed by Israeli forces, which significantly obstructed access to the refugee camp.
Despite the restrictions, emergency teams managed to evacuate a number of patients to hospitals, including kidney dialysis patients.
