ACT Appeal

The Occupied Palestinian Territories - MEPL22, REVISION 1

Assistance to Civilian Victims of Conflict

Geneva, 23 April, 2003

Appeal Target: US$2,879,504
Balance requested: US$2,209,483

 

Since the outbreak of the conflict in the Occupied Palestinian territories in September 2000, Gaza has been the recipient of crushing economic sanctions, and remains under siege with a complete closure in effect. This has included closure of all borders with Israel and Egypt, the closure of Gaza International Airport, the closure of the sea for fishing and the closure of the major internal north-south and east-west routes of transportation. The Gaza Strip has been divided into three distinct internal regions, outside of which residents are only rarely able to move, and are forced into an unacceptable amount of travel time. Due to the closures and the on-going military incursions, the situation in the health sector has dramatically deteriorated both in Gaza and the West Bank.

As a part of its traditional ministry of working with the civilian Palestinian population affected by the long conflict, The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem seeks to strengthen emergency services of its hospitals in Gaza and Nablus. The Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza and the St. Luke’s hospital in Nablus have a long history of responding to needs of people during the times of crises related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This appeal includes a variety of emergency services tailored to meet the health needs of the most vulnerable civilian population hit by the on-going conflict.

For the sake of brevity, this revision includes only the proposal of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem. For the LWF, MECC/DSPR and IOCC proposals please refer to the original appeal MEPL-22 issued 3 October 2002.
