The healthcare situation in the West Bank is worsening due to Israel's withholding of funds from the Palestinian Authority. This measure has led to a buildup of millions in debts to hospitals and healthcare providers.

As a result, the population increasingly suffers from shortages in medical services, affecting their access to necessary healthcare. The lack of resources has left multiple organizations and citizens in a critical situation.
