The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that the Israeli security forces left Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams refugee camps uninhabitable.
The large-scale demolitions are an alarming new pattern. They have an unprecedented impact on the Palestine Refugees and seek to permanently change the characteristics of the camps in the northern West Bank, UNRWA stated in a press release.
The demolitions are occurring in the context of the so-called Israeli Security Forces operation "Iron Wall" ongoing since 21 January in the northern West Bank - the single-longest and most destructive operation since the second intifada, it added.
The operation has resulted in the largest displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank since the 1967 war, with some 40,000 people forced from their homes.
Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams refugee camps have been nearly emptied of their residents. With widespread destruction to civilian infrastructure including homes, people now face the prospect of having nowhere to return to, it said.
UNRWA teams on the ground are working to meet the needs of those displaced, under the ever-shrinking humanitarian space in the West Bank, the agency added
