In the last decade, the number of people forced to flee their homes and move elsewhere within their own country has doubled. Natural disasters, exacerbated by the climate crisis, used to be the main cause, but last year, for the first time, wars and violence became the factor forcing more people to move, according to the latest annual report from the Internal Displacement Observatory (IDMC), linked to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).

While the Western media is focused on Gaza, Israel has intensified its occupation of the West Bank in the last two months. With the so-called Operation Iron WallSince the beginning of the war on January 21, the Israeli army has stepped up its attacks in this Palestinian territory. The military offensive began in the refugee camp and the city of Jenin, one of the strongholds of the Palestinian resistance, and quickly spread to Tulkarem and Tubas. Two months later, the death toll stands at 60 Palestinians killed by the army and settlers, more than 500 arrested, and more than 40,000 displaced, according to UN data, a figure unprecedented since the Six-Day War (1967).
