CARE receives funding from the German
Ministry of Foreign Affairs to improve access to
health care for the Palestinian people
Many communities in the West Bank do not receive the minimum standards for basic health services, nor do they have access to essential quality health services for preventative health care, antenatal and postnatal care, health awareness, or curative services for chronic and infectious diseases. This lack of access to health care is mainly due to the Israeli checkpoints, the separation wall, and the proximity to settlements, all creating obstacles for movement for communities across the West Bank.

CARE Succeeds
Program managers at CARE International have had to think outside of the box when it
comes to helping the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Pockets of populations are
limited with boarders and checkpoints that hinder their mobility. One of the many cases
is the community in Al Maleh, located in the northern region of the Jordan Valley. With
approximately 1,000 inhabitants, the Al-Maleh community is restricted from health care
facilities due to checkpoints that require prior coordination with Israeli authorities.

Finally, in the last week of Operation Cast Lead, something gave, and the Egyptian government unexpectedly opened the gates - VQR Online.
