The 1,500 village residents and residents of the surrounding areas do not have access to a health clinic, despite the Health Ministry&#8217;s commitment to set up a health clinic for this community, a declaration made in response to a previous ACRI petition. The closest clinic to Tel Al-Melach is located 12-15 kilometres away, accessible mostly by unpaved roads and without the possibility of public transport. In effect, it takes about two-and-a-half hours to reach the clinic without a car, which hinders people from seeking appropriate medical care and gravely endangers residents&#8217; health and well-being. <\/p>\n<div class='footnote'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residents of Tel Al-Melach must travel for 2.5 hours to reach nearest health clinic, despite State&#8217;s commitment to serve Bedouin &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/2008\/10\/27\/acri-petitions-for-health-clinic-in-unrecognized-bedouin-village\/\">Read more<span class=\"meta-nav\">&#8230;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,35,57,26,47],"tags":[84],"class_list":["post-568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arab-citizens-of-israel","category-land-and-planning-rights","category-negev-bedouins-and-unrecognized-villages","category-social-and-economic-rights","category-the-right-to-health","tag-legal-work"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2333,"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568\/revisions\/2333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/law.acri.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
