West Bank: Population and healthcare actors, such as MSF, 'still facing movement restrictions'
The withdrawal of Israeli forces from Hebron has not ended the humanitarian crisis, as healthcare providers and Palestinians continue to face movement restrictions.
The withdrawal of Israeli forces from Hebron has not brought an end to the humanitarian crisis. According to Frederica Venturi of Doctors Without Borders (MSF), some 3,300 Palestinians were forcibly displaced, and 15 houses were reportedly demolished. Continuing restrictions on movement have obstructed access to essential healthcare for the population.
Healthcare Crisis
Those families whose houses were demolished have nowhere to go back to.
Venturi describes how the "movement restrictions during the lockdown prevented medical teams from reaching communities." Hospitals are also reporting shortages of essential medicines, exacerbating the already dire situation for Palestinians in the region.
