| dc.description | Situated in the Near East region, Palestine is a small, fragmented territory, involved since 1948 in a conflict with Israel. Natural resources are scarce, water resources are diminishing rapidly and the country depends primarily on imports for its sources of energy. Before the start of the second Intifada, progress had been achieved in almost all areas relevant to the Millennium Development Goals. Child mortality and maternal mortality rates were low. School enrolment was high. The poverty rate had decreased, and environmental issues were starting to be addressed. The outbreak of the Second Intifada in September 2000 is threatening these achievements. Some indicators of health, education, gender, poverty and of the environment have regressed. The political unrest has damaged the socio-economic infrastructure and shifted efforts from development into relief and humanitarian aid. | |
