Tulkarm

The city spans across 28.8 square kilometers of land with a population of 51,300 residents near the Mediterranean Sea and Green Line border.

Founded in the late 12th century during the Ayyubid era, Tulkarm developed from Kurdish clan settlements into a significant agricultural and administrative center.

The Khadouri Campus of An-Najah National University maintains educational traditions dating back to 1918 through its agricultural faculty and academic programs.

The central location connects major Palestinian cities, with Nablus and Jenin to the east and Ramallah to the south, facilitating regional transportation.

The city contains two refugee camps established in 1950, including one of the most concentrated settlements in the West Bank with 21,000 people in 0.18 kilometers.
