More Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces or occupiers in the West Bank between 2023 and the end of 2025 than during the previous 17 years combined, according to an analysis published by international aid organization Oxfam, Anadolu reports.
Citing data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Oxfam said that 1,244 Palestinians, including 268 children, were killed in the West Bank from 2023 through 2025.
By comparison, 1,036 Palestinians, including 225 children, were killed between 2006 and the end of 2022, according to the analysis.
“The mounting killing of civilians in the West Bank is tragic and horrifying,” said Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam International’s humanitarian policy lead.
“While the eyes of the world have been on Gaza, attacks in the West Bank have been accelerating,” she said.
