Spotlight - Palestine: escalation of hostilities aggravates crisis

 

DescriptionThere were more than 118,000 internal displacements associated with conflict and violence in Palestine in 2021, the second highest figure on record after the 501,000 triggered by the 2014 conflict in the Gaza Strip. Most of the displacement was the result of escalating hostilities between Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups and the Israeli military in Gaza in May, but property destruction, including home demolitions and seizures, forced evictions and a coercive environment also forced people to flee in the West Bank.
