In a WAFA report published on 27 October, UNRWA West Bank Director Roland Friedrich said residents had faced severe restrictions since 23 October and that more than 3,000 Palestinians had reportedly been forcibly displaced amid demolitions and a near-total lockdown across large parts of Hebron. Friedrich said movement and access to critical services were severely restricted and that UNRWA was coordinating emergency aid with humanitarian partners and Palestinian authorities. The displacement figure is attributed to Friedrich’s statement on X as relayed by WAFA. It is higher than the nearly 2,000 figure in a 26 October Guardian report; the sources report different counts on different dates, and the available reporting does not reconcile them.
