Life or Death - Medical Referrals from Gaza
March
The strict closure of the Gaza Strip has impoverished and restricted medical services in Gaza. This increases the need to refer patients for treatment outside Gaza. The process of obtaining a referral document is not easy, and when a patient manages to obtain it, he or she then has to wait for a hospital appointment to come through, before applying to the Israeli Authorities for permission to leave Gaza.

Interview with MAP's new President
March
"I think this is a tremendously important charity both because of the huge good that it does on the ground and its role as an advocate of better treatment of Palestinians. It is almost unimaginable that MAP has been going on for twenty-five years and despite the work of MAP and others, the problems in the region haven't been solved and the condition of many Palestinian families has continued to deteriorate. I'm really keen to be involved in MAP I think it does wonderful work, several of my friends have been involved with the organisation, and I hope I can help MAP to get a better standard of life for people in Palestine".

Palestinian Doctors Visit UK Hospitals
March
MAP and IMET 2000 have launched a joint programme to raise standards of care for burns patients across the occupied Palestinian territory. We will update existing burns units, build new facilities, bring in much needed equipment and train a generation of doctors and nurses. As our first step, in January, MAP and IMET 2000 organised a visit of nine surgeons, doctors and nurses from the occupied Palestinian territory to observe UK burns services. This visit will form part of a skills sharing process that will ensure international learning and partnership.
