Palestinian districts suffering acute shortage in medicine
Jenin Hospital Corridor February 4, 2007
Jenin - Thousands of Palestinian patients in the Jenin district are lacking badly needed medicines and medical supplies especially insulin, for more than 5,000 diabetic patients in the district, and tranquilizers.
Dr. Anan Al-Masri, the PA health undersecretary, said on Sunday that the problem is found in all Palestinian districts in the West Bank and in all kinds of medicines.
Masri said that the shortage is not due to a default on the part of the health ministry but rather due to the World Bank measures that controls the dispensing of medicine to the Palestinian lands.
The ministry exerted strenuous efforts to provide the medicine for the citizens, he said, adding that the World Bank is expected to allow the transfer of a shipment of medicine to Palestine within the few coming days.

It has been getting worse in Palestine for sometime, especially with the sanctions and the blockades.
