61. UNICEF. The Situation of Palestinian Children in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. UNICEF, Jerusalem, 1992, 100 pp.

An analysis of the situation of Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza Strip based on published data on demographic characteristics, economic situation, infectious diseases, nutritional status, maternal health, primary health care services and education.

Data suggest that the population is rapidly growing with increasing levels of poverty and unemployment, poor health and health services and low quality of education. This situation is further worsened by the violence of the Intifada. Recommendations to formulate UNICEF's policy for 1992-1994 are presented.
