DESCRIPTION:This event is copresented with Jewish Voice for Peace (www.jvp.org)\n\nDr. 
 Allam Jarrar of the Palestine Medical Relief Society, and Dr. Ruchama 
 Marton of the Physicians for Human Rights/Israel, will speak about health 
 and human rights in Israel-Palestine.  \n\nThe Palestine Medical Relief 
 Society maintains health centers, mobile clinics and rehabilitation 
 programs in Occupied Palestine, and also trains women as health workers. 
 Dr. Jarrar was instrumental in launching Palestinian civil society's call 
 for Boycott, Divestment and Sanction in 2005.\n\nDr. Marton won the Right 
 Livelihood Award in 2010. She observed Gaza's hospitals in 1988, motivating 
 her to bring these conditions to light and advocate for systemic change, 
 founding Physicians for Human Rights/Israel. The organization focuses on 
 health in Occupied Palestine and Israel, including serving Bedouins in 
 "unrecognized villages." Dr. Marton is also a veteran fighter for women's 
 rights.\n\nTheir two organizations collaborate closely, especially 
 assisting transport patients through the barriers imposed by the 
 Occupation.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/10/13/18723667.php
