Despite increased hopes this month regarding political negotiations, the situation on the ground
remains fragile and characterized by high levels of vulnerability amongst the civilian population.
Key trends identified during the first half of 2013 include an increase in the number of Palestinians injured by Israeli forces, as well as an increased number of Palestinians forcibly displaced from their homes due to demolitions.
While June was relatively calm, during the first
six months of 2013 as a whole, a total of 2,640 Palestinian civilians were injured by Israeli forces across the West Bank – an average of 440 per month (January to June). This is the highest monthly average since OCHA began recording civilian casualties in 2005. About 75 percent of this year’s injuries were sustained in the course of clashes during protests.
