Tulkarm Camp (Arabic: مخيم طولكرم, romanized: Mukhayyam Ṭūlkarm) is a Palestinian refugee camp north of the West Bank in the city of Tulkarm, established in 1950 on 0.18 km by the UNRWA. It is the second largest refugee camp in the West Bank, as well as one of the most densely populated. The camp was severely affected during the Second Intifada by incursions, arrests, raids and curfews. Incursions still take place, though on a more irregular basis. In 2013, the health centre was reconstructed with project funds amounting to US$1.7 million. Tulkarm camp has four UNRWA schools. The camp is currently under full Israeli military control as part of Israel's "Operation Iron Wall". In 1950, the Tulkarm Camp was established by UNRWA in the city, comprising an area of 0.18 square kilometres (0.07 sq mi). Most of the refugees who resided in the camp came from Jaffa, Caesarea and Haifa. Today it is the second largest Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank.
