The Jenin refugee camp is enduring a devastating military campaign by the Palestinian Authority, with severe humanitarian consequences and widespread violations.
The media committee in the Jenin refugee camp issued an open letter to Arab and international media, urging them to highlight the severe suffering of the camp’s residents due to the ongoing military campaign by the Palestinian Authority’s security forces, the Quds News Network reported on Saturday.
In the letter, the committee reported that the Jenin camp is under a complete siege, with electricity and water cut off, while food and medical supplies have been blocked, worsening the already dire humanitarian situation.
The committee confirmed that hospitals in the refugee camp have been raided and turned into military barracks, and wounded individuals have been arrested directly from the operating rooms, a flagrant violation of international humanitarian laws.
The situation inside the refugee camp is described as “almost impossible,” with residents struggling to survive amid severe shortages of basic necessities and ongoing random shelling that threatens their safety.
The letter also reported that the refugee camp has been subjected to indiscriminate shelling, leading to the burning of homes and the displacement of entire families.

Journalists have been directly threatened to prevent coverage of the events, aiming to obscure the reality and suppress the Palestinian narrative. Additionally, the campaign includes widespread arrests, violent raids on homes and mosques, random gunfire injuring women and children, and the destruction of property and infrastructure.
The committee appealed to the international community and the media to provide accurate coverage of the crimes committed against the residents and to hold the Palestinian Authority accountable for actions that serve the Israeli occupation’s interests and undermine the Palestinian resistance.
It called for an immediate end to the siege, a halt to the military campaign, and for humanitarian and medical aid to be allowed into the camp. The committee also stressed the need for an urgent international investigation into the crimes, to ensure accountability for those responsible.
The committee urged the media to intensify coverage and keep the issue of the Jenin refugee camp at the forefront of the global media agenda. In conclusion, the committee called for international action to end the ongoing tragedy, achieve justice for the residents, and ensure their protection from further violations.

Furthermore, a recent photo showed Amr Al-Shami, who was detained on December 25, enduring cruel and inhuman treatment by PA security forces. He was reportedly subjected to severe torture, resulting in broken limbs and serious injuries. Court documents revealed that Al-Shami was unable to move due to the injuries, including bruises and a broken leg, sustained during the torture.
