> week. Among widespread violations of the international humanitarian law,

> emergency services of Rafidia hospital to arrest two seriously wounded
> patients, admitted in intensive care unit. The violent methods employed
> by the soldiers put the life of the two persons into real danger.

> Committees, in the east and in the south of the city, were invaded by
> the army On August 26, Israeli soldiers forced their way into the MDM /
> Nablus municipality dispensary, occupied the medical facility, searched
> the medical files and damaged the premises. The occupation of this
> medical facility lasted more than one day and prevented the surrounding
> population to access basic health cares. The medical personnel have been
> several times denied in the right to access the dispensary and to
> provide medical assistance.
>
> On 28 August, MDM witnessed denial by the Israeli soldiers to let UPMRC
> emergency team provide first aid to civilians retained by the soldiers
> in a building. Meanwhile, UPMRC staff trying to provide assistance to
> the Balata Camp population was prevented to enter. In addition, the
> soldiers confiscated and destroyed their ID cards.

> humanitarian conventions, MDM, PHR-Israel and UPRMRC are demanding the
> Israeli authorities to stop violating basic humanitarian principles and
> to respect the fundamental rights for every patients to access health
> services and for medical personnel to move freely at any time.
