Welcome to Palestine Stamps
A historic collection of 209 Palestine postage stamps
✨ Discovery of the day
Year: 1964
World Health Day
This commemorative postage stamp was issued in April 1964 for use in the Gaza Strip under the United Arab Republic (UAR) administration to mark World Health Day. The issue highlights a dedicated public health push focusing on the global fight against tuberculosis, a major health priority across the region during the mid-20th century. By incorporating the name "PALESTINE," the postal administration formally aligned the local population with international humanitarian agencies, spotlighting a shared civic commitment to medical modernization and disease eradication. The design features a prominent, centralized emblem of the World Health Organization (WHO)—the Staff of Asclepius superimposed over a global map and framed by olive branches. In the upper left corner, the red humanitarian Red Crescent is paired with the Cross of Lorraine, the international symbol of the global anti-tuberculosis crusade, explicitly underscored by the text "ANTI T.B." and its Arabic equivalent, "Mukafahat al-Daran" (مكافحة الدرن). Circulating widely on domestic and international correspondence, this 10-millieme stamp effectively framed regular mail as a vehicle for global health advocacy and scientific solidarity.
