Abstract
The Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) is the term used by the UN for those parts of
historical Palestine occupied by Israel after the Arab–Israeli war of 1967. (1) Because of the
political situation and its consequences, most of the areas in the West Bank has little
infrastructure in health, education and social services.(2) Ramallah, a city located in the middle
of the West Bank, is considered the commercial and governmental capital of the Palestinian
Territories. Palestinians from all over the West Bank seek jobs and business in Ramallah which
makes its people very diverse.
