Medics say closures turn routine ambulance journeys into ordeals
Checkpoints and closures are lengthening transfers in the West Bank, +972 Magazine reports.
Palestinian medics in the West Bank say proliferating closures, checkpoints and settler attacks have turned routine ambulance journeys into prolonged ordeals, according to +972 Magazine.
An ambulance transfer that is time-critical by nature — cardiac, obstetric, trauma — cannot absorb an unpredictable delay at a checkpoint.
The reporting describes crews rerouting between governorates to avoid closures.
