38. Ziv,H., and Haj Yahya, S. Medicine under Attack, Critical Damage Inflicted on Medical Services in the Occupied Territories: An Interim Report. Israel: Physicians for Human Rights, 2002: 9pp.

This report describes the Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian medical personnel throughout the years of the second intifada and during the Israeli Invasion of Palestinian cities in March/April 2002. The report lists several cases in which medical teams were attacked while or prevented from performing their jobs in evacuating and moving the injured or sick persons, including the chronically ill, and women in labor. The report presents the principal infringements in the medical sphere, with reference to the international conventions providing protection against such infringements.  The cases reported are only examples – dozens more cases have been reported to PHR-Israel. The PHP-Israel team concludes the report by demands of an immediate end to attacks on medical institutions and crews.
