Description
Rula Ghandour and colleagues surveyed well being in 2026 among 3,000 adults in West Bank refugee camps and nearby towns living under prolonged occupation. Using the WHO Five Well Being Index, they tested how deprivation, political violence, and rights violations relate to mental well being. Nearly three quarters of respondents, 73.8 percent, reported poor well being.
Material deprivation showed the strongest link: low or moderate deprivation carried 1.7 and 2.4 fold higher odds of poor well being. Household exposure to political violence also raised the odds. The findings tie population mental health to living conditions and rights, with clear implications for aid and health policy.
