Tulkarm Camp (Arabic: مخيم طولكرم) is a Palestinian refugee camp north of the West Bank in the city of Tulkarm, established in 1950 on 0.18 km² by the UNRWA.^[1] It is the second largest refugee camp in the West Bank, as well as one of the most densely populated.^[2] 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.^[1]^[3]^[4]
