[Emergency preparedness based on coherent integration of crisis response resources: workshop on mass casualty management in Bethlehem in June 1999].
In June 1999, the Humanitarian Action Division of the Foreign Affairs Department organized a training course on the mass casualty management within the framework of religious festivities related to the Bethlehem 2000 project. This initiative was undertaken at the request of the Palestinian Authority and the General Consulate of France in Jerusalem. Palestinian and French specialists in the field worked together in three workshops devoted to rescue, search and first aid; medical outposts and triage; and emergency and surgical care in referring hospitals.
