ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global health crisis. In war-affected regions, where healthcare systems are already compromised, AMR presents even greater threat. The occupied Palestinian territories (oPt), subjected to chronic war-like conditions, have experienced extensive fragmentation, de-development, and destruction of healthcare. This review maps the existing knowledge regarding carriage infection in oPt. We conducted a scoping using PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web Science. Findings on prevalence suggested drivers were extracted analyzed according One Health approach. From initial 1,787 articles, 102 included final analysis. Of these, 91 studies focused humans, seven animals, four water contamination. findings reveal high rates AMR, with 40% Klebsiella pneumoniae producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) 55% Streptococcus resistant penicillin. Additionally, 45.6% Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cow milk methicillin-resistant, 36% chicken samples contained carbapenem-resistant gram negative bacteria. Significant gaps regulation antibiotic prescription, dispensation, consumption reported. Despite heterogeneity reporting methods across inability perform meta-analysis, evidence suggests alarmingly within Notably, most attributed local practices, often overlooking broader structural socio-political drivers. underscores need contextualize environment, particularly under conditions sustained warfare. IMPORTANCE study goes beyond merely reviewing summarizing data region enduring conditions. Our work addresses critical about populations affected by war siege. By contextualizing through lens, this offers novel perspective. It highlights deeper drivers, including impact behaviors education patients doctors, perceptions antibiotics, role humanitarian interventions fostering anarchy, overall weakening system. Importantly, also sets stage for understanding literature oPt context ongoing Gaza, emphasizing immediate comprehensive strategies address conflict. insights can inform physicians policymakers designing implementing effective stewardship programs, not only Palestine but other conflict-affected regions.

Palestinian citizens of Israel (PCI) constitute almost 20% the Israeli population. Despite having access to one most efficient healthcare systems in world, PCI have shorter life expectancy and significantly worse health outcomes compared Jewish While several studies analysed social policy determinants driving these inequities, direct discussion structural racism as their overarching etiology has been limited. This article situates stemming from settler colonialism resultant by exploring how Palestinians came be a racialized minority homeland.

Recent academic and activist critiques raise important points about the ways in which coloniality, migration racialization are often overlooked global health research practice. In particular, these highlight how such structural forces perpetuate inequalities exclusions, as well processes of epistemic violence health. While agreeing with critical interventions, this paper argues for a focus on care importance that concrete acts systems postcolonial, migratory racialized contexts have suffering vulnerability individuals communities. Drawing case studies from multiple different geographic social contexts, we argue perspective can multi-layered healthcare shaped by intertwined coloniality migration; thereby explaining contextual, specific groups people to certain conditions their exclusion adequate resources. We scientists scholars practitioners play central role bringing three strands – into conversation explore potential jointly advancing well-being communities geographical contexts.
