About the Palestinian Territories

The Palestinian Territories encompass the West Bank and Gaza Strip — lands of extraordinary historical and spiritual significance, home to ancient cities like Jericho and Bethlehem. They offer a rich tapestry of culture, history, and resilient hospitality. Due to the complex administrative and security situation, dedicated travel health guidance for the Territories is not maintained separately on this site.

For practical travel health purposes, including vaccine recommendations and healthcare access, travelers should refer to the framework of Israel, as the healthcare systems are closely integrated and entry/exit is typically via Israeli-controlled crossings. Travelers should use our comprehensive Israel travel health guide for general vaccine recommendations, while also noting the critical local health and safety considerations provided below.
