Dear CHIFA members,
Thanks Dana and all for your concern about the right of Palestinian children for health. If you are thinking to start a campaign kindly to address children at the West Bank as well. Where the permission of many parents is denied by Israel, this prohibited them from accompanying their children in their journey to seek treatment in East Jerusalem, and hence force many of the parents of not to find alternative to send their children alone. We all know how this would affect the psychology of these children. Best Regards, Amira
