MAP’s New Film: Life or Death

Medical Aid for Palestinians’ new film:
Life or Death: Medical Referrals from Gaza
The strict closure of the Gaza Strip has impoverished and restricted medical services in Gaza. This increases the need to refer patients for treatment outside Gaza.
The process of obtaining a referral document is not easy, and when a patient manages to obtain it, he or she then has to wait for a hospital appointment to come through, before applying to the Israeli Authorities for permission to leave Gaza.
MAP FILMS looks at the reality of life for Palestinians in Gaza trying to access health services outside the territory.
