=== West Bank ===
There are four YMCA facilities in the West Bank, two of which are in East Jerusalem, one in Beit Sahour, and one in Ramallah. In 1948, the first YMCA in East Jerusalem was established in a tent in the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp after nearly 750,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes in the 1948 war. It started programs that provided skills to the refugees and offered assistance to those in need. Later expanding to provide sports fields and further youth development. The facilities were then moved to East Jerusalem, where they provided support for the community during the 1967 war and occupation of the West Bank by Israel. In the Beit Sahour facility, they started a special rehabilitation program for disabled victims caused by injuries from the Israeli occupation forces in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This program is still running. <ref name="Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ">{{cite web |title=East Jerusalem YMCA (Palestine) |url=https://www.globalministries.org/partner/east_jerusalem_ymca/ |website=Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ}}</ref>
