Malaria Eradication Campaign (UAR Era)

This bright yellow and orange 35-millieme stamp was issued in 1962 to support the global public health drive spearheaded by the World Health Organization, carrying the bilingual theme "THE WORLD UNITED AGAINST MALARIA / العالم يتكتل لاستئصال الملاريا". The graphic design centrally superimposes an Anopheles mosquito beneath the classic WHO insignia—the Rod of Asclepius set over a terrestrial globe grid and framed by a laurel wreath. Designed and printed with the native "PALESTINE / فلسطين" designation under the United Arab Republic (UAR) framework, this stamp authorized local mail transit in the Gaza Strip while directly linking the territory's local sanitation and healthcare efforts to an international humanitarian campaign.
