Despite problems, ACT makes health care
accessible to Palestinians

Comforted by his mother, seven-year old Luay Khalil Hawmdeh receives kidney dialysis treatment at East Jerusalem's ACT-supported Augusta Victoria Hospital, run by the LWF.

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 Tawfiq Nasser, CEO of LWF's Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem, discuss health access as a fundamental human right, and describe how ACT funding has been critical in extending health services to all Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. 3:17.
