The Rehabilitation Program was launched in 1989 in response to the needs arising from the first Intifada related injuries and physical disabilities. The Al-Aqsa Intifada that started on 28 September 2000 , re-enhanced the urgency of the Program to focus on the injuries and physical disabilities of the violence victims in order to achieve the Program's goal of full integration of the physically disabled into their own community. The Program provides psychosocial and vocational rehabilitative services all over the West Bank , in addition to medical aids to help the physically disabled reach the maximum possible degree of independence. Building accessibility facilities for persons with disabilities is one of the unique offerings of the Program. The Rehabiltation headquarter is located in Beit Sahour.
