Poll No. 146
Date: 13 December 2005

Dear Madam, Dear Sir,

The target of this poll, which covers a big sample of (1873) persons living in the Palestinian territories, is to draw the attention of the world to the suffering of the Palestinian people at the economic level, the deterioration of their living conditions and the desperate need for an international support in order to establish an economic basis and provide a honorable life, in which the Palestinian people can live in peace and security as the other nations in the region do.

Please feel quite free to contact us immediately if you have any questions or inquiry on any issue of this poll.

With our good wishes and best regards,

Dr. Nabil Kukali Director of PCPO
