حماية المدنيين | 18 - 24 آذار/مارس 2009

This week, Israeli security forces injured in the West Bank 20 Palestinians, including two children. This figure represents a slight increase compared to the weekly average of injuries during the previous four weeks. In Gaza, Hamas de facto authorities took control over the PA Referral Abroad Department (RAD), which assesses applications by patients for specialised medical treatment outside gaza, putting the lives of hundreds of chronically-ill patients treated abroad at risk.
