In Tulkarem's Nur Shams refugee camp, MSF provides physical and psychological support to residents affected by frequent and violent military incursions by Israeli forces. Key points include:

MSF trains local women in "Stop the Bleed" techniques, equipping them with basic first-aid skills to handle trauma and severe bleeding, as ambulances often cannot reach injured people during raids.

Israeli forces often block roads and restrict access to medical services, which delays or prevents the treatment of injured residents.

Tulkarem and Jenin have the highest displacement rates in the West Bank due to escalated military operations, drone strikes, and airstrikes in densely populated areas, further intensifying the humanitarian crisis. Psychological. Continuous raids cause severe mental health effects, especially in children, who fear going to school or playing outdoors. MSF also offers psychological first aid to address trauma, yet emotional scars remain profound.

Despite the ongoing violence, MSF's trainings help residents gain a sense of control and preparedness, fostering resilience amidst instability, though the need for such training underscores the gravity of the situation.This comprehensive approach by MSF aims to provide some safety and support for affected communities living in constant insecurity.
