The burden of anemia has remained static during the last decade, suggesting that the anemia prevention and control (APC) interventions in place have not produced their expected outcomes. This assessment, therefore, identifies and analyzes bottlenecks in the ongoing interventions to provide insights to strengthen APC in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (WB & GS). The three main APC activities identified in the Palestinian Territory were the universal fortification of wheat flour with micronutrients, iron supplementation to pregnant and postnatal women and children aged between 6-23 months, and the promotion of an increased dietary intake of micronutrients. 2022-05-13T17:08:21Z 2022-05-13T17:08:21Z 2022-05-04 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099520202012244256/P1727390041c580c60aa9502e5d1d658991 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/37431 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Report Publications & Research Middle East and North Africa West Bank and Gaza
