Israel and the occupied territories

The ICRC has been present in Israel and the Occupied Territories (OT) since 1967. Our main activities are focused on the protection of civilians and on visits to detainees held in Israeli and Palestinian places of detention. We also have programs in support of the health and water sector in the OT.
