A/HRC/2/7 page 37 99 Mizra psychiatric hospital had 300 patients. When the conflict began some patients were temporarily discharged. The hospital was hit twice, the second time a hospital building was damaged, although there were no casualties. The hospital – some 220 patients and 130 staff – were evacuated to two hospitals in central Israel. Within three days of the cessation of hostilities, patients and staff returned to Mizra. 100 Many of these patients found this disruption extremely traumatic. All have now returned to the north. However, some are now hospitalized because their health has deteriorated. 101 “Actions in Time of War”, The National Committee for the Arab Local Authorities in Israel, Nazareth, 18 August 2006. 102 In relation to non-discriminatory access to health-related services, see CESCR general comment No. 14 (2000), para. 12. 103 Jacob Blaustein Institute, op. cit. 104 Numerous concluding observations of United Nations treaty bodies , e.g. CESCR in 1998 and 2003, CERD in 1998 and CRC, refer to the policy and legislative steps necessary to overcome the discrimination suffered by the Arab minority in Israel.
