Role/ Editor Director / Jack Dodson Outlet / Middle East Eye Year/ 2019
Synopsis:
Doctors, nurses, and Social workers board a small bus loaded with supplies, traveling to some of the most underserved areas in the Palestinian Occupied Territories provide medical care. Villages in Area C of the West Bank, face obstacles to health care services, cut off geographically through checkpoints, settler-only roads, and unable to access nearby Hospitals in the surrounding settlements. Residents are forced to travel hours to get to the nearest hospital. For some, mobile health teams are their last resort. Ever since President Trump enacted budget cuts to US AID, large swaths of funding to Palestinian NGO’s have been cut, and mobile health teams are scrambling to maintain their programs.
