News 📅 10 November 2026 📍 Palestine

Palestinians held a peaceful protest in the courtyard of UNRWA’s hospital in Qalqilya, demanding that the agency reverse its planned closure, restore internal medicine and maternity services, and safeguard healthcare for refugees. WAFA, a Palestinian public news agency, and Safa reported the protest and these demands. Anadolu Agency also reported the event, describing the gathering as dozens of people, while Safa reported hundreds; WAFA did not give a count. The hospital has served refugees since 1951; the internal medicine and maternity departments had previously closed in December 2025 and March 2026. The closure plan was still being contested, and the protest called for it to be reversed.
