UN says Israel displaced nearly 40,000 Palestinians in West Bank

The United Nations reported that Israeli forces and armed settlers have displaced nearly 40,000 Palestinians from their homes across the occupied West Bank since the start of 2025, according to UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq citing Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs data. The displacement stems from ongoing demolitions and settler-led attacks; in the first week of May alone, 42 people, including 24 children, were displaced by settler demolitions.
