During the last incursion, Israeli forces destroyed a significant amount of road infrastructure as well as cutting off access to electricity and water. One week after military forces withdrew, people still struggled to access clean water as many of the pumps were cut and water tanks had been shot and ruptured.

في صباح يوم 28 أغسطس/آب، بدأ الجيش الإسرائيلي توغلًا عسكريًا في مدينة طولكرم وجنين وطوباس في فلسطين يعدّ الأشد منذ عام 2002. وفي الحصيلة، قُتل 39 فلسطينيًا بحسب وزارة الصحة.

في جنين، حملت هذه الأيام التسعة دمارًا هائلًا طال جزءًا كبيرًا من البنية التحتية للطرقات وإمدادات المياه والكهرباء، لا سيما في مخيم اللاجئين والحي الشرقي من المدينة. هذا وحوصر الناس وقُيّدت قدرتهم على الوصول إلى الرعاية الصحية في ظل تموضع المركبات العسكرية أمام المستشفيات وتعرّض سيارات الإسعاف والعاملين الصحيين للتفتيش بشكل متكرّر، وحتى للهجوم. وكان السكان يخشون التعرّض لإطلاق النار عند خروجهم من المنزل.

تؤدي التوغلات المتكررة وغير المتوقعة في الضفة الغربية إلى خسائر فادحة في صحة الفلسطينيين الجسدية والنفسية. ويعيش الناس في خوف دائم من التوغل القادم.

هذا وتأثرت أنشطة أطباء بلا حدود بشدة من التوغل الواسع في جنين. فعلّقنا أنشطتنا المعتادة في مجالي التدريب والصحة النفسية. وتبرّعنا بالأدوية والحفاضات وحليب الأطفال للمتطوعين الذين أوصلوا المواد الأساسية إلى الأشخاص المحاصرين في المخيم. ومنذ مغادرة القوات الإسرائيلية في السادس من سبتمبر/أيلول، تبرعت فرق أطباء بلا حدود بزجاجات وخزانات المياه واستأنفت أنشطتها في مجال تقديم الإسعافات النفسية الأولية.

قُتل إجمال 705 فلسطينيين وأصيب 5,700 آخرين في الضفة الغربية منذ 7 أكتوبر/تشرين الأول 2023 بحسب بيانات وزارة الصحة.

ويفيد الأشخاص الذين يتلقون الدعم النفسي بشعورهم باليأس والقلق جراء الخوف المستمر من التوغلات.

After the 9-day incursion that took place in Jenin from 28 August to 6 September, MSF teams resumed their psychological first-aid activities in the refugee camp.  

 

Salwa and Rahma visit the camp weekly to meet the residents and make assessments on their mental health and evolution.  

 

“The level of destruction keeps becoming bigger, and the psychological impact is huge” explains Rahma, “residents believe that what is happening in Gaza will happen as well in the camp. Many people, and especially women and children, suffer from symptoms of psychological trauma, and develop eating and sleeping problems like recurrent nightmares and anxiety due to the fear of incursions which often happen at night”  

 

People cannot feel safe given the brutality of the incursions and the impossibility to foresee when the next one will come. In this context, psychological treatment is challenging as the trauma is ongoing.

Nour says she is always angry: “I don’t feel scared anymore, they tried to terrorize me many times and interrogated me, but I am not afraid”. 

 

Since Nour lost her husband, she is in a survival mode and lost her appetite for things she used to enjoy. She sews and tries to forget how difficult her family’s situation is. “My husband is always with me, he accompanies me everywhere I go, I miss him too much”. 

 

For Nour, the destruction of the infrastructure in the camp has had a huge impact on her and her neighbours, “they shot at our two water tanks, so we lost our running water. The worst for me is not being able to move freely, there used to be some life in the camp before, but now the streets are empty, it is depressing”.

During the last incursion, Israeli soldiers broke into the Anwar’s house. He described how they broke the windows and set fire to the second floor which was being built for his older son.  

 

His wife spent 6 months in prison, without charge or arrest warrant. He took care of his 4-year-old daughter alone. “Every night she was screaming for her mother. I could not sleep and tried to entertain her playing with her toys”.  

 

When her mother was released and came back home, she found her daughter psychologically traumatized. “Whenever she hears sirens or other noises she screams. She is scared I can be taken away from her” explains her mother.
