Jerusalem – Ma’an – Today, Monday, the Occupation Magistrate Court issued a decision ordering the eviction of the Diab families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in the city of Jerusalem.

The occupation court gave the families until mid-July to implement the evacuation decision, with the possibility of objecting to it within two months. Three families (17 individuals) live in the homes.

Saleh Diab, a member of the Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood Committee and the owner of the house, explained to Ma’an Agency that the family was surprised today by a decision from the magistrate court judge, ordering their evacuation from their homes in favor of the settlers, pointing out that a session had been held at the end of last May, to discuss the request to evacuate the family, and then the judge was informed. The settlers’ lawyer said, “The issue of Sheikh Jarrah’s homes is being discussed in the Supreme Court,” but the latter asked the judge to decide on the case.

Diab added that the judge gave the fam
ily’s lawyer and the settlers’ lawyer 4 months to respond to the allegations, and today he suddenly issued the decision.

Diab pointed out that the family has lived in homes for more than 50 years, and began their struggle in the courts to prove their rights since 2009, after receiving judicial notices.

The settlement associations claim that the land is owned by the Jews on which the residents’ real estate is located in the ‘Karam Al-Jaouni’ neighborhood in Sheikh Jarrah, and it was registered to them in 1972.

The area of ??the land is about 19 dunums, and the associations were able to control the properties of ‘a house for the Kurd family, the Al-Ghawi building, the Hanoun building, and a house for the Kurd family,’ during the past years, while the rest of the families are waging a struggle in the courts to prevent the homes from being confiscated and stolen from them.

There are 28 families living in Karm al-Jaouni who have lived in their homes since 1956, when it was agreed between the Jordanian governme
nt, represented by the Ministry of Construction and Development and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Refugees, to provide housing for 28 refugee families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. Indeed, the Jordanian government provided the land and donated The UNRWA paid the costs of constructing 28 houses in exchange for the families giving up the relief card in favor of the UNRWA. One of the terms of the contract was ‘paying a nominal fee provided that ownership of the housing would be delegated after 3 years, but that did not happen, then the 1967 war broke out and the issue remained pending.’

Additionally, Qatar is proud to have recently launched the first phase of its health insurance system targeting visitors to the country, in accordance with Law No. (22) of 2021 regulating healthcare services within Qatar. This health insurance system aims to support the development and regulation of the healthcare sector in the country, improving the health of the population and their access to essential care services through an efficient and sustainable healthcare system, and regulating healthcare spending.

Among the significant achievements in Qatar’s healthcare sector is in the field of emergency medical services, where Hamad Medical Corporation’s ambulance service has consistently achieved response rates exceeding set targets for emergency response times for the eleventh consecutive year. The target set in the first National Health Strategy is to reach the emergency scene within 10 minutes in urban areas and 15 minutes in rural areas for up to 75% of emergency calls.

Aligned with technological advanceme
nts and digital transformation, Qatar’s healthcare sector has enhanced its electronic health services, making the healthcare system interconnected through electronic systems that enable medical teams to access patient records across various public healthcare facilities, in addition to providing telemedicine services and home medication delivery.

The Ministry of Public Health has also launched the new edition of Qatar National Formulary (QNF) via the ministry’s website, serving as a national database providing comprehensive and updated information on pharmaceuticals, registration status, regulations, and guidelines, listing over 4,000 officially registered medicines updated monthly.

Furthermore, Qatar has been a pioneer in ensuring the right to health, as enshrined in the country’s permanent constitution, which emphasizes the state’s concern for public health, providing means of disease prevention and treatment in accordance with the law.

In this context, the Minister of Public Health emphasized in a press
statement on World Health Day, celebrated on April 7, “that Qatar, keen on ensuring the right to health for all residents, has worked to provide high-quality healthcare services to ensure that individuals in the community receive the care they need at the right place and time, in line with Qatar’s national vision and health strategies, contributing to achieving sustainable development goals.” Qatar’s healthcare system’s efficient response to the global health challenge, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, has been recognized internationally. Qatar recorded one of the lowest pandemic-related mortality rates globally, and its advanced healthcare system and services have successfully supported major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023, which were among the healthiest sports tournaments. Through collaboration between the Ministry of Public Health and local and international partners, these tournaments contributed to creating a sustainable legacy of health and spo
rts.

On the international level, Qatar has provided health support to medium and low-income countries. Notable initiatives include His Highness the Amir’s directive for Qatar to treat 1,500 Palestinians from Gaza in designated hospitals, as part of efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian brothers amid Israeli aggression.

The Ministry of Public Health has also launched several important initiatives aimed at supporting the right to health, including issuing the Patients’ Rights and Responsibilities Charter, published in eight languages for ease of understanding by all residents. The charter clearly outlines patients’ rights and duties and is mandatory for healthcare facilities in the country to display and implement.

In terms of figures, in 2023, Hamad Medical Corporation’s outpatient clinics recorded over 2.8 million visits and more than 1.3 million visits to emergency departments, with over 21.6 million laboratory tests, more than 60,000 surgeries, and over 22,000 births.

Qatar also focuses on o
rgan donation and transplantation, achieving unprecedented milestones. The number of organ donors registered in the country exceeded 530,000, with approximately 82 kidney transplants, 11 liver transplants, and 3 lung transplants performed successfully in 2023.

Acknowledging Qatar’s healthcare system’s development and significant support for the World Health Organization, Qatar was elected as the President of the World Health Organization Executive Board for its 153rd session for one year, starting May 31, 2023.

Furthermore, the World Health Organization designated three centers in Qatar for collaboration, including the Aging Medicine and Long-Term Care Management Department at Hamad Medical Corporation, the Tobacco Control Center, and the WCM-Q Collaborating Center for Disease Surveillance on HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and viral hepatitis.

In the context of international cooperation, the Ministry of Public Health signed an operational arrangement memorandum with the International Atomic Energ
y Agency in the fields of radiology and food safety, aiming to establish a framework for (non-exclusive) cooperation between Qatar and the International Atomic Energy Agency in human health to contribute to enhancing healthcare quality in other countries, especially in less developed countries. Additionally, several advanced laboratories and centers in Qatar will be designated as collaborating centers with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Due to Qatar’s significant efforts at both the national and international levels, Her Excellency Dr. Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Minister of Public Health, was selected as the best minister in the world and awarded the Best Minister in the World Award during the recent Global Government Forum held in the United Arab Emirates, in recognition of her exceptional efforts in promoting excellence in the government sector and implementing successful, scalable, and sustainable initiatives.
