Annual report of the Department of Health 2010 - 3 653 KB
 

The United Nations agency helping Palestinian refugees has made progress in immunization and improving children’s health, but so-called “lifestyle” diseases are taking an increasing toll among the refugees because of poverty, unemployment and budget limitations, the agency’s annual health report said today.

The report – issued by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) – said the reduction in child mortality rates means the region is in line with the target set by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and UNRWA continues to achieve a near 100 per cent rate of immunization coverage among the 5 million registered refugees it supports.
