Ride Along With a West Bank Mobile Clinic

Escalating violence in the West Bank is increasing child protection risks, displacing families and impeding access to the essential services children rely on. Between Oct. 7, 2023 and Oct. 30, 2025, at least 999 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank including East Jerusalem. Tens of thousands have been forced out of their homes. Ride along with a UNICEF-supported mobile clinic as a care team makes its rounds treating Palestinian families in the West Bank. As part of its ongoing emergency response, UNICEF supports two mobile clinics in the northern West Bank, providing more than 10 communities with maternal, newborn and child health care, along with mental health and psychosocial support, care for persons with disabilities and essential medical screenings. Siham describes how she and her family were displaced from Jenin refugee camp the day after military operations began. They are all currently sharing one small room in Talfit. "We had to leave our home and walk a long distance. My mother is 85 years old and uses a wheelchair," Siham says. "UNICEF supported us and provided essential assistance. The UNICEF mobile clinic helps us with psychological support, medicines and medical check-ups. They also visit my mother and provide her with care."
