Handicap International (HI) has been operating in Palestine since 1996 and has developed relationship with several disability stakeholders. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics there are around 4,048,403 million Palestinian living in the OPT (2,513,283 million in West Bank and 1,535,120 million in Gaza strip), 40.8% of them (15-19) years of age, 29.4% of them (15-29) years of age and 59.2% of them (20-29) years of age. According to general estimations by WHO, between 7-10% of a given population would have some kind of disability; in the Palestinian Territories, this implies that the figure would be around 284,000 – 404,000 people.

According to the last records, the prevalence of disability in the OPT was about 7% (relaxed definition) with similar prevalence in each of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. While the prevalence of disability using the narrow definition was 2.7% distributed as 2.9% in the West Bank and 2.4% in Gaza Strip; while it was 2.9% for Males and 2.5% for females[1].  Taken together, this implies that the total number of persons with disability in opts is around 113,000-287,000.

HI is running a project to improve the services provided for children with cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities. During October and November 2011 an extensive training for 30 local professionals on the early detection and the early intervention in the field of child disabilities, specifically about children with Cerebral Palsy, has been organized (80 hours in total).
