The network of east Jerusalem hospitals has warned that the US administration’s cut of funding to Palestinian hospitals in the holy city will adversely affect the lives of 5000000 Palestinian citizens.
This came following a meeting held by the network on Monday to discuss the impacts of the US step on six Palestinian hospitals.
In a news conference held after the meeting director of Augusta Victoria Hospital Walid Nammour expressed the network’s regret at the US decision to halt funding to Jerusalem hospitals and warned that such step would largely affect the health services they provide for the Palestinians.
Nammour appealed to the Palestinian government the US Congress and the international community to intervene to address such serious development.
