A new report - available in Arabic and English - published by the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) identified 171 incidents of violence against or obstruction of health care in the oPt in 2022. In these incidents, 136 health workers were injured, and patients’ access to health care was obstructed at least 60 times. Violence resulted in the temporary closure of health facilities, and health care was interrupted during hospital raids. Palestinians seeking health care continued to be delayed or denied access to care by Israel’s permit system. Closures of crossings and roads further reduced access to health care.
This factsheet is based on the dataset 2022 SHCC Health Care oPt Data, which is available for download on the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX).
