The PalMed Europe 28th and 29th specialised medical delegations returend  from the Gaza Strip, following 4 weeks of dedicated service across multiple hospitals.

28th Specialised Delegation

The 28th mission arrived in Gaza on 21 October 2025 and consisted of three surgeons:

• Plastic and Burns Surgery

• Ophthalmology

• Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery

A fourth member of the delegation — a cardiac surgeon — was prevented by the occupation from entering Gaza.

The team worked across hospitals in both the northern and southern regions.
A multidisciplinary surgical team, including Gaza’s general surgeons and Dr. Othman Zeroual from Morocco (PalMed), successfully performed a total thyroidectomy on a patient with a significantly enlarged gland present for over 10 years. This procedure was the first of its kind since the beginning of the war and was highly commended by local medical staff.

In addition, Dr. Nawras Diab, a member of the PalMed surgical team, performed a complex emergency procedure to treat a cardiac tamponade resulting from a shrapnel injury to the right ventricle. The heart was freed, and the ventricular wound was successfully repaired.

29th Specialised Delegation

The 29th delegation reached Gaza on 28 and 30 October 2025, composed of:

• Vascular Surgery

• Anaesthesia and Intensive Care

• Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology

Two members were denied entry, and only the internal medicine and gastroenterology specialist was permitted to enter Gaza. She remained at Nasser Medical Complex until 20 November 2025, offering vital medical support.

PalMed Europe continues to pursue its mission of sending specialised medical teams to strengthen Gaza’s healthcare system and alleviate the suffering of its people.

Together, we heal the wounds.
