<blockquote>
<h3>The Jenin refugee camp is enduring a devastating military campaign
by the Palestinian Authority, with severe humanitarian consequences and
widespread violations.</h3>
</blockquote>
<p><span>The media committee in the Jenin refugee camp issued an open
letter to Arab and international media, urging them to highlight the
severe suffering of the camp’s residents due to the ongoing military
campaign by the Palestinian Authority’s security forces, the Quds News
Network reported on Saturday.</span></p>
<p><span>In the letter, the committee reported that the Jenin camp is
under a complete siege, with electricity and water cut off, while food
and medical supplies have been blocked, worsening the already dire
humanitarian situation. </span></p>
<p><span>The committee confirmed that hospitals in the refugee camp have
been raided and turned into military barracks, and wounded individuals
have been arrested directly from the operating rooms, a flagrant
violation of international humanitarian laws.</span></p>
<p><span>The situation inside the refugee camp is described as “almost
impossible,” with residents struggling to survive amid severe shortages
of basic necessities and ongoing random shelling that threatens their
safety.</span></p>
<p><span>The letter also reported that the refugee camp has been
subjected to indiscriminate shelling, leading to the burning of homes
and the displacement of entire families. </span></p>
<p><span>Journalists have been directly threatened to prevent coverage
of the events, aiming to obscure the reality and suppress the
Palestinian narrative. Additionally, the campaign includes widespread
arrests, violent raids on homes and mosques, random gunfire injuring
women and children, and the destruction of property and infrastructure.</span></p>
<p><span>The committee appealed to the international community and the
media to provide accurate coverage of the crimes committed against the
residents and to hold the Palestinian Authority accountable for actions
that serve the Israeli occupation’s interests and undermine the
Palestinian resistance. </span></p>
<p><span>It called for an immediate end to the siege, a halt to the
military campaign, and for humanitarian and medical aid to be allowed
into the camp. The committee also stressed the need for an urgent
international investigation into the crimes, to ensure accountability
for those responsible.</span></p>
<p><span>The committee urged the media to intensify coverage and keep
the issue of the Jenin refugee camp at the forefront of the global media
agenda. In conclusion, the committee called for international action to
end the ongoing tragedy, achieve justice for the residents, and ensure
their protection from further violations.</span></p>
<h4><strong>PA Violent Campaign</strong></h4>
<p><span>For the 38th consecutive day, Palestinian Authority security
forces have been conducting an operation against resistance fighters in
Jenin camp, continuing to enforce a strict siege that exacerbates the
already grave humanitarian and living conditions. </span></p>
<p><span>The PA forces have carried out arrest campaigns, including the
detention of two young men, Muhammad Suqiya and Ibrahim Abu Tabikh.</span></p>
<p><span>On Wednesday, journalist Jarrah Khalaf from Jenin was arrested
by PA security forces and transferred to detention, pending a request
from the governor. His family has appealed to international human rights
and humanitarian organizations for help in determining his whereabouts.</span></p>
<p><span>Furthermore, a recent photo showed Amr Al-Shami, who was
detained on December 25, enduring cruel and inhuman treatment by PA
security forces. He was reportedly subjected to severe torture,
resulting in broken limbs and serious injuries. Court documents revealed
that Al-Shami was unable to move due to the injuries, including bruises
and a broken leg, sustained during the torture.</span></p>
