People in Hebron continued to face obstacles reaching essential medical care after Israeli forces withdrew, Frederica Venturi of Doctors Without Borders (MSF) told France 24, describing displacement and limits on medical teams during the lockdown.

Venturi said about 3,300 Palestinians had been forcibly displaced and 15 houses were reportedly demolished. She said lockdown measures had prevented medical teams from reaching some communities. The France 24 report said hospitals were reporting shortages of essential medicines.

“Those families whose houses were demolished have nowhere to go back to,” Venturi said. EconoTimes previously covered movement restrictions during West Bank operations.
