The article reports on the economic warfare by Israel against the Palestinian Authority (PA), which has led to severe cuts in public services in the West Bank. It describes how the PA's reduced salaries and working hours for employees, including teachers, have resulted in fewer school days and limited access to healthcare.

Over 520 people visited such a clinic in Aktaba, surpassing the usual average of 350, highlighting the growing strain on healthcare infrastructure.
