Abstract：
The infant mortality rate (children under five) in Palestine is 21 deaths per 1,000 live births. Palestine has thus successfully reached the threshold set by the Millennium Development Goals for child mortality. However, this rate is higher than in neighboring countries. This indicator is extremely important as it is a highly sensitive indirect measure of population health, poverty and socio-economic development status, as well as the availability and quality of health services in a country. These are all factors that still present challenges in Palestine.
摘要：
巴勒斯坦的婴儿死亡率（五岁以下儿童）为每1000名活产儿中有21人死亡。因此，巴勒斯坦成功地达到了千年发展目标为儿童死亡率设定的门槛。然而,这一比率高于邻国。该指标极其重要，因为它是人口健康的高度敏感的间接测量指标，贫困和社会经济发展状况，以及一个国家卫生服务的可用性和质量。这些都是巴勒斯坦仍然面临挑战的因素。
