WHO denounces Israeli measures against Palestinians’ health

OMS, denuncia, medidas, salud, palestinos
Ramallah, Feb 25 (Prensa Latina) The World Health Organization (WHO) has denounced on Friday the obstacles implemented by Israel to the Palestinians to have access to the most basic medical services.

Last year, at least 235 violations to the right to health were reported, the WHO office in the occupied territories tweeted.

During those 12 months, 106 health workers were injured, the agency stated.

Of 15,466 permits to exit Gaza Strip for medical treatment, 37 percent were delayed or denied, it criticized.

In mid-February, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B’Tselem) warned that the health system in the Strip collapsed some years ago due to the Israeli blockade and the systematic offensives by Tel Aviv’s armed forces.
