Teams of doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, interpreters, social workers and drivers reach people with curative medical and psychological care via mobile clinics. Home visits and counseling by psychologists or psychiatrists help traumatized individuals cope with stress. More than half of the patients are under 15. In Hebron and Jenin, the MSF team also carries out emergency interventions such as escorting pregnant women and gunshot victims to nearby hospitals. Assistance to Yatta Bedouins is provided in Hebron.
