Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Occupation of Palestine was structured through a colonialist and orientalist discourse. Since 1948, Israeli policies have generated a wide range of abuses against Palestinians. This work aimed to analyze the impacts on the health and quality of life of Palestinians resulting from the Israeli occupation METHODS: Narrative Review of literature about impacts caused by the Israel occupation on Palestinians’ health and quality of life. RESULTS: Palestine has 2.45 million people that requires some form of humanitarian assistance. The current situation is due to constant invasion of Palestinian territories by Jewish settlements and the rigid control of conquered territories, which prevents the population from accessing basic rights such as health and food. CONCLUSION: International humanitarian aid will not be enough to minimize the inequality experienced in the region, which is caused by the political context of coloniality and apartheid in the region.
