The British Mandate in Palestine ended abruptly in 1948. The British departure engendered a complex situation which affected all areas of life, and the country's health system was no exception. Gradual transition of the infrastructure was almost impossible owing to the ineffectiveness of the committee appointed by the United Nations. The situation was further complicated by the outbreak of the Arab-Israeli War. We relate for the first time the story of 75 Jewish patients who were left in a former British mental hospital in Bethlehem - deep behind the front lines. Despite the hostilities, there were complex negotiations about relocating those patients. This episode sheds light on the Jewish and Arab relationship as it pertained to mental institutions during and immediately after the British Mandate.
英国对巴勒斯坦的委任统治于1948年突然结束。英国的撤离引发了一个复杂的局面，影响到生活的方方面面，该国的卫生系统也不例外。由于联合国任命的委员会效率低下，基础设施的逐步过渡几乎是不可能的。阿以战争的爆发使情况更加复杂。我们首次讲述了75名犹太患者的故事，他们被留在伯利恒一家前英国精神病院里——身处前线后方深处。尽管存在敌对行动，但就转移这些患者进行了复杂的谈判。这一事件揭示了英国委任统治期间及之后犹太人与阿拉伯人在精神病院方面的关系。
