Palestinian volunteers are responding to a fire with emergency material
Wednesday, April 16, 2025

A major escalation of violence in the northern West Bank, initiated at the end of January, led to the displacement of over 40,000 people and caused extensive damage to infrastructure in several urban centers. As of mid-April 2025, these operations were still ongoing. New restrictions on movements and additional security checks at existing checkpoints introduced end of January and early February were still in place by mid-April 2025, complicating access to most of the villages in the West Bank. 

Food security indicators continue to worsen. According to the World Food Programmes, 700,000 Palestinians across the West Bank needed food assistance in 2024 (+100% from 2023). A survey from World Vision found that 3 in 4 families is now below the deep poverty line and unable to cover their most essential costs.

To support communities in the West Bank, World Vision has continued its emergency response, reaching 193,000 people including 110,000 children in 7 governorates. Read our report to learn more about our response.
