OCHA oPt: Monthly Humanitarian Bulletin-April 2015

Each month, the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories (OCHA oPt), publishes a Humanitarian Bulletin.  The current issue is available by clicking here.

Highlights

● Rafah crossing closed for the whole of April and opened for only five days in 2015, particularly affecting Gaza medical patients.

● Progress on repairs to damaged medical and health facilities in Gaza hampered by shortage of construction materials and funding

● Plans to “relocate” Palestinian Bedouins in the central and southern West Bank advance compounded by demolition orders and seizure of vital infrastructure
