Medics say closures turn routine ambulance journeys into ordeals
Checkpoints and closures are lengthening transfers in the West Bank.
Palestinian medics in the West Bank say proliferating closures, checkpoints and settler attacks have turned routine ambulance journeys into prolonged ordeals.
An ambulance transfer that is time-critical by nature — cardiac, obstetric, trauma — cannot absorb an unpredictable delay at a checkpoint.
Crews are described as rerouting between governorates to avoid closures.
