Discourses and practices surrounding humanitarian organisations have changed over time. This is certainly the case for Palestinian non-governmental organisations, which have followed the structural and ideological transformations observed in local, regional and international contexts. There have been three successive but interlocking generations of groups active in health in Palestine: charitable societies, popular committees, and donor-based entities. Against this background, a village clinic in the West Bank is seen to have gone through various incarnations in the context of an emerging neo-liberal economic, administrative and political environment. Despite the critiques justifiably addressed towards them, non-governmental organisations may in some cases be functionally fluid. Communities and people continue to use them strategically in their relations with states, political groups, individuals and receivers of aid, making them potential networking sites in the context of an ongoing occupation.
围绕人道主义组织的论述和实践随着时间的推移而发生了变化。这对于巴勒斯坦非政府组织来说尤其如此，它们遵循了在地方、区域和国际背景下观察到的结构和意识形态转变。在巴勒斯坦从事卫生工作的组织有三代：慈善协会、民众委员会和以捐赠为基础的实体。在这种背景下，西岸的一个乡村诊所处于新兴新自由主义经济、行政和政治环境中，经历了各种变化。尽管人们对非政府组织提出了合理的批评，但在某些情况下，它们可能在功能上具有流动性。社区和人们继续在与国家、政治团体、个人和援助接受者的关系中策略性地利用它们，使它们成为在持续占领背景下潜在的网络站点。
