<B>Health and Segregation: How the Wall in the West Bank affects access to Palestinian health care services [en]</B>
<B>[en]</B> 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.<BR>
