Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank face restrictions on healthcare and the threat of growing illegal settlements. Area C which covers 60% of the West Bank is under full Israeli control.
The pandemic has worsened the health status of these marginalised Hebron communities. Locals are unable to establish any permanent health facilities in these areas, and the high cost of transport means that walking is often the only option. MAP provides a mobile health clinic for these communities.
The TUUT Charitable Trust recently received a request for funding from MAP which was supported by the Clerkenwell & St Pancras Branch of Unite.
Our donation of £10,000 will cover the cost of a women’s health doctor for one full year, enabling specialist support for women at high risk of cancer and other diseases.
