On the other hand, at the institutional and community level, market food prices, poverty, income, employment and livelihoods were the factors perceived to be contributing the most to...
Based on interviews conducted with doctors, nurses and other frontline staff across West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, the paper exposes how the stresses and strains of protracted COVID-19 response have compounded existing challenges of working in a health system already rendered fragile, fragmented and resource-deprived by perpetual occupation and blockade, to cause a deepening wellbeing crisis among the Palestinian healthcare workforce.
