Al-Jaleel NGO has provided critical services to disabled Palestinians in Jenin, including prosthetics and therapies. The centre has been targeted previously by Israeli military actions. Currently, it is located in an area designated for demolition under Israeli plans. Al-Jaleel's staff have not received official notice regarding the demolition. The Israeli military claims the area is being secured for military purposes. The destruction of Al-Jaleel would severely impact vulnerable communities reliant on its support, thereby disrupting essential healthcare and rehabilitation services for individuals with disabilities.
The Al-Jaleel Society for Care and Community-based Rehabilitation has provided essential services to disabled Palestinians in Jenin refugee camp for decades.
Al-Jaleel is a critical lifeline, describing how the demolition of the centre would deprive vulnerable communities in Jenin and the wider northern West Bank of its essential services.
The reason the organisations were given was that the area was being secured for military and security purposes.
Since it first opened its doors, Al-Jaleel has provided thousands of Palestinians with a wide range of support and services, especially to those with mobility impairments.
