Palestine

For years, Palestine has been facing significant challenges due to limited access to essential services, including healthcare. Ongoing occupation and administrative divisions prevent many residents from receiving medical treatment, while the lack of stable healthcare infrastructure and mobility restrictions further exacerbate the crisis. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for patients and those in need.

What’s the situation?

Palestine is divided into the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which consists of Areas A, B, and C. The situation is particularly difficult in Area C, which is under full Israeli control and accounts for 62% of the West Bank. Around 300,000 Palestinians living there face daily restrictions on movement, limited access to healthcare, and violations of basic rights. A shortage of medical facilities and personnel means that many people do not receive the urgent medical care they need.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), more than 114,000 Palestinians in the West Bank lack access to basic healthcare. One of the solutions in this crisis is mobile clinics, which reach the most vulnerable populations, providing treatment and psychosocial support. The situation is especially dire for women and children—in 2023, over 622,000 people required medical assistance. Increasing violence from settlers and frequent movement restrictions further hinder the already fragile healthcare system.

Residents of Area C face daily threats of displacement, demolitions, and settler violence. The lack of a stable healthcare infrastructure means that many people, including those in critical condition, remain without medical attention. The escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has further restricted access to essential services, leading to a deterioration in both physical and mental health among the population.

Our aid in Palestine?

To support the most vulnerable communities, we focus on ensuring access to basic healthcare, reproductive health services, and psychosocial support. Our efforts target five marginalized communities on the outskirts of Jerusalem and in the Jericho province, where approximately 1,600 people and 250 families lack access to vital medical assistance.
Our activities are carried out in collaboration with local partners, including the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) and Terre des Hommes (TDH). Our partners have identified five high-risk communities in Area C that lack healthcare and psychosocial services. Planned actions include:

Weekly visits by a fully equipped mobile clinic staffed by qualified medical personnel.
Educational sessions for women and girls on reproductive health and gender-based violence prevention.
Regular psychosocial activities for children aged 4 to 12, providing support for both children and caregivers.
Training local community leaders to facilitate psychosocial support initiatives.
Renovating and equipping five safe community spaces for local gatherings. These spaces will remain available to the community even after the project ends, offering long-term support.

Our project aims to sustainably improve the well-being of these at-risk communities by providing essential medical services and psychosocial support. The initiative also seeks to empower communities through education, ensuring long-term benefits for those affected by the crisis.

Who are we helping in Palestine?

Area C in the West Bank is struggling with a high risk of displacement, building demolitions, violence from settlers, and restrictions on movement, exacerbating the healthcare access crisis. The lack of hospitals, health centers, and qualified medical staff further hinders access to essential services. The escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict further limits access to basic services, dramatically affecting the psychosocial well-being of the community, especially children. Partners PMRS and TDH have identified five vulnerable communities in Area C where health and psychosocial services are unavailable. Planned actions include mobile clinic visits, provision of medications, health education for women, and training 60 community members in family violence, MHPSS (Mental Health and Psychosocial Support), and first aid.
