Effects of Israel’s war in Gaza being felt by families in the West Bank

The effects of the war in Gaza are being felt by families in the occupied West Bank. Economic downturns and widespread Palestinian job losses are leaving houses in crisis. Jewish Human Rights activists are working alongside Palestinians in the West Bank to deliver food aid at a time when more and more families are facing difficulties. “The West Bank is an economic catastrophe at the moment – when we’re talking about hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were working in Israel and on October 7 suddenly their jobs ended, along with that you’ve got a lot of army restrictions around freedom of movement and getting to workplaces … it’s really making peoples lives unbearable,” Israeli human rights activist Anton Goodman said. Food insecurity in the West Bank has increased because of Israel’s war in Gaza.
