Peu de peuples au Proche-Orient sont aussi exposés à des troubles psychiques que les Palestiniens.

Appuyé par la DDC, le programme communautaire de santé mentale de Gaza (Gaza Community Mental Health Programme) leur offre des conseils, des cours et des thérapies. Rien qu’en 2017 plus de 20’000 personnes ont pu être soutenues.

Sécurisation de l’approvisionnement en vivres et des revenus par la vente d’olives
15.11.2011

Les petits producteurs de Cisjordanie vendent des olives de leur cru sur les marchés et améliorent ainsi leurs moyens de subsistance. La DDC les aide à trouver des débouchés et à vendre leurs produits à des conditions équitables. Ayant ainsi les reins plus solides, ils sont moins vulnérables aux événements extérieurs néfastes.
