Balata camp in West Bank surrounded by Israeli forces

Al Jazeera is reporting on Wednesday that Israeli forces are surrounding the Balata camp in Nablus after having raided it at dawn.

It quotes the director of the ambulance at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Nablus as saying that many people have been wounded from the shooting and beatings during the raids.

The director also told Al Jazeera that Palestinians "are forced to flee the camp", and that they are coordinating with the Red Cross to get sick cases out.

 Meanwhile, three sick children are out of the camp, with efforts exerted to move out more numbers.
