According to a recent report by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the organisation’s mobile clinic in the H2 area of Hebron City was forced to cancel 7 out of 26 planned visits to the area between September and November 2024, due to movement restrictions and overall insecurity in the area. The mobile clinic, which provides primary healthcare and mental health support to residents twice per week, treats about 60 to 70 patients per day and has become a critical lifeline for Palestinian residents of H2, where access to healthcare has been seriously compromised due to movement restrictions, settler violence and military incursions. According to MSF, these disruptions to healthcare have profound effects on the Palestinian residents, hampering access to vital healthcare services in an area heavily affected by movement restrictions and violence and where MSF teams are seeing a dramatic decline in children’s mental health and rising symptoms of trauma, including hyperactivity, bed-wetting, nightmares and academic struggle.
