The UN Agencies and
AIDA (Representing over 80 NGOs) are calling for an immediate opening of
Gaza’s crossings
Max Gaylard, the Resident Humanitarian
Coordinator for the oPt, said on Wednesday 20th January 2010 “The
continuing closure of the Gaza Strip is undermining the functioning of
the health care system and putting at risk the health of 1.4 million
people in Gaza. It is causing on-going deterioration in the social,
economic and environmental determinants of health. It is hampering the
provision of medical supplies and the training of health staff and it is
preventing patients with serious medical conditions getting timely
specialised treatment outside Gaza”.

The Pandemic Influenza
(H1N1) updates
Since the pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009
was first reported in occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) in June
2009, a total of 1,612 laboratory confirmed cases including 45 deaths
have been reported as of 25/01/2010. The reported number of laboratory
confirmed cases is an under representation of the actual numbers as not
all cases are tested or recognized as pandemic influenza.
The MoH is currently carrying out a vaccination campaign against
pandemic influenza launched in oPt. The MoH selected Hajj pilgrims,
health-care workers, pregnant women and other high risk groups for
complication from influenza as the first priority groups to receive the
vaccines. The ministry of health is caring out public awareness campaign
in connection with the vaccination campaign.
