Local Editor

The World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva on Wednesday condemned the "Israeli" adopted and applied measures against the civilian citizens in the occupied Palestinian territories, including Al Quds (Jerusalem), and in the occupied Syrian Golan.

In a resolution adopted by the WHO on the health and economic situation in the occupied territories, the Organization referred to "Israel's" hindering of the construction of health centers and the transfer of medicine, hampering ambulance services and preventing the patients and wounded people from reaching hospitals.

The WHO resolution called on the international community to put pressure on "Israel" to lift the siege and stop hindering the improvement of the health situation in the occupied Palestinian territories and Syrian Golan, including the establishment of a health insurance system for the Arab people under the occupation.

It also urged the international community to not recognize the "Israeli" measures which are part of an "Israeli" systematic racial policy against the Arab citizens in the occupied territories.
