Palestine is experiencing a spike in COVID-19 cases. Of the more than 43,000 cases confirmed in the West Bank since the start of the pandemic, more than a third have been in Hebron governorate. Since August 2020, MSF has been supporting local health authorities there, by providing infection prevention and control and technical support to the intensive care unit in Dura hospital, one of the main hospitals treating COVID-19 patients in the city. In September 2020, MSF also started providing technical support to Alia hospital, which also admits patients with COVID-19. However, providing treatment for patients already infected with COVID-19 is not enough to slow the curve so MSF teams have been carrying out health promotion activities in the most affected neighborhoods in Hebron, as well as distributing hygiene kits and reusable face masks to people who are self-isolating and to first responders. MSF has also stepped up its mental health activities in Hebron since the pandemic began, by supporting COVID-19 patients and their families as well as frontline health staff.
