Despite problems, ACT makes health care
accessible to Palestinians

Samar Yunis smiles shortly after giving birth to a baby boy at the ACT-supported St. Luke's Hospital in Nablus. The hospital is run by the Anglican Church.

Action by Churches Together (ACT) gives critical assistance to its member churches and agencies as they provide health care services throughout the occupied Palestinian territories. One of the major problems facing health workers is access, given that frequent Israeli curfews, road closures, and incursions in Palestinian territories make it difficult for patients to get to clinics or for health professionals to reach those who need attention.

Listen to Hosam Naoum, the Anglican priest in Nablus, discuss the church's historic ministry of providing health care, and the challenges it faces today in the middle of occupation. 1:54.
