Yara Asi speaks with the Foundation for Middle East Peace's Sarah Anne Minkin about how to understand Palestinians' access, if any, to public health resources. As Minkin details, Israeli policy is essentially to cruelly reduce or eliminate any such access just as much as possible.
The so-called Palestinian Authority is no help, by design.
Thus, when a Palestinian or his/her child needs a doctor's or hospital's attention immediately, he/she is put through a sadistic wild goose chase from checkpoint to checkpoint to checkpoint. Some make it, some don't.
What are possibilities and priorities, if any, for change? Essentially, none. That's what Israel calls public health -- for Palestinians.
