Caritas provides health and psychological assistance to elderly individuals in Palestine.

One of the most vulnerable groups in Palestine is the group of elderly people who live alone, without a pension and without social security of any kind. On the one hand, they do not have the means to access food and basic nutrition, and on the other, they suffer from chronic illnesses or those that require specialized treatment that they cannot afford.

In this center in the West Bank district we work to:

• cover the basic needs (food and health) of the most vulnerable elderly people.
• Help them to overcome the situation of social isolationl due to the COVID-19 situation.
• Make up for affective and emotional deficiencies due to the lack of family support, situations of functional diversity, chronic diseases and cognitive deterioration.
