<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>



<p>The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said the 
Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams refugee camps, in the northern occupied 
West Bank, have been nearly emptied of their residents.</p>



<p>“With widespread destruction to civilian infrastructure, including 
homes, people now face the prospect of having nowhere to return to,” 
UNWRA said in a statement.</p>



<p>According to the agency, Israeli forces began the demolition of more than 16 buildings in the Nur Shams camp in Tulkarem.</p>



<p>“This comes less than a week after 11 houses were demolished in the 
same camp, 14 other houses in the Tulkarem Camp, and controlled 
detonations in Jenin Camp around a month ago that left the camp 
uninhabitable,” read a statement.</p>



<p>“These large-scale demolitions are an alarming new pattern. They have
 an unprecedented impact on the Palestinian refugees and seek to 
permanently change the characteristics of the camps in the northern West
 Bank,” UNRWA added.</p>



<p>Israel’s continuing military operation in the territory has resulted 
in the largest displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank since the 
1967 war, with some 40,000 people displaced from their homes, said the 
UN relief agency.</p>
