Akie Abe, the spouse of the Prime Minister of Japan, visited Dheisheh
refugee camp in the West Bank to learn about life in Palestine refugee
camps and see how Japanese support is making a positive impact on
residents. Ms. Abe visited Dheisheh Health Centre, where she witnessed
how Japanese assistance is improving the health of mothers and children
by supporting the introduction of a Maternal and Child Health Handbook.
Ms. Abe then visited the Educational Centre for Disabled Children, where
Japan funded expansion work, including a fourth floor and an elevator
that provides essential accessibility in the centre.
