Health and Medicine


The Palestinian people have lived under difficult circumstances
since 1967 when Israel took up occupation in the West Bank.
This has effected, among other things, their health. Now that
there is peace, the focus should be on health since health is the
basis of human rights, democracy, and peace.

The West Bank and Gaza Strip has a third world economy.
Unemployment is estimated at 45%; the water supply is
contaminated, and poor sewage and solid waste disposal
represent key areas of enviromental risk.
