Barrier 'harms West Bank health'

Quote:

Israel's West Bank barrier is blocking 10,000 chronically ill Palestinians from access to essential treatment, say three leading medical organisations. Medicins du Monde, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel made the charges at a Ramallah press conference on Tuesday. The organisations also said that over 100,000 pregnant women could suffer from the lack of access to healthcare.
