Health and Segregation: How the Wall in the West Bank affects access to
Palestinian health care services [en] 
[en] HDIP has made a new report on the separation Wall and its effects
on Palestinian health care services. According to the report the Wall
will affect even villages that seem far from the Wall because of the
network of settler-only roads that Palestinians cannot use. 80,000
Palestinians have difficulty accessing emergency care and curative
medical services, a further 80,000 have trouble reaching hospitals, and
35,000 lack sufficient health care services. A further 6,000 suffer
deficiency in vaccination programs, availability of general
practitioner, preventive dentistry, and labs. Four communities in the
Qalqiliya/Salfit area, Al-Za’im and Qalandia villages in Jerusalem, and
Al-Walaja village in Bethlehem, 5,300 people in all, have no medical
services whatsoever.

Campaign for the Release of Dr. Maslamani and Two other Palestinian
Activists [en] 
[en] Palestinian individuals and representatives of civil society
organizations have launched a campaign for the release of three civil
society activists. Among them is Dr. Ahmad Maslamani, the director of
the Union of Health Work Committees, a big health NGO. Their
illegitimate arrest is considered an interference in the upcoming
election process. The National Committee for the Release of the three
activists calls upon all concerned parties and defenders of civil
society work in Jerusalem to support the call for their release based on
their status as Prisoners of Conscience.
