West Bank families led by women face greater displacement risks, OCHA says
Due to surging Israeli settler violence, West Bank families headed by women are more likely to be displaced and more likely to have chronic illness among household members compared with those headed by men, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The agency estimates that some 83,000 households (one in eight families in the occupied West Bank) are headed by women.
