This study presents the basic findings of a house-to-house survey conducted in 19 communities in the Southern District of the West Bank (Bethlehem and Hebron regions). It provides data on the general socio-economic conditions of the communities, with an emphasis on documenting the conditions of persons with disability and assessing their needs. The report was created to inform the development of a community-based rehabilitation (CBR) programme that has been launched by the Southern Regional Committee for Rehabilitation (SRCR). Of the approximately 116,000 persons surveyed, 2.4% were disabled. Among other things, results indicate a need for developing activities that assist disabled families and their families with daily activities. A great need also exists to socially integdisabled persons, especially children. The study lists three priorities which CBR programs should focus on. These are impoverished households and communities, girls with disabilities, and persons with mental disabilities.
