Despite problems, ACT makes health care
accessible to Palestinians

A nine-year old Palestinian girl, Dua Abdul-Nasser Shawmieh, accompanied by her mother Halimeh, receives treatment for a growth disorder 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.
