Palestine Address Format
Palestinian addresses go from smallest unit to largest: recipient, street with building number, then the locality with the postcode written to its right (e.g. Ramallah P6028179), and the country. Addresses are accepted in Arabic or Latin script; a neighborhood/district name may precede the street line. P.O. Box delivery is widely used, and international mail has historically been routed 'via Israel'. Limited public documentation.
