Amid Ongoing Aggression, Displaced Persons Face Harsh Winter Conditions

As the deliberate Israeli aggression continues, over two million displaced individuals are enduring severe hardships in shelters and tents, struggling to protect themselves from fierce winds, freezing temperatures, and relentless rain. This ordeal is further exacerbated by a critical shortage of medical services and essential medicines needed to combat the spread of diseases that thrive under these harsh conditions. Additionally, there is an alarming lack of blankets and warm clothing.

Recent reports have confirmed the tragic deaths of three infants due to the bitter cold sweeping through the displacement camps in the Mawaasi Khan Younis area, south of the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the United Nations has issued a warning that displaced families living in temporary and volatile shelters may not survive the harsh winter season.

In response, PalMed continues its efforts to support the healthcare sector in these areas by establishing medical points that provide essential health services and treatment to refugees, especially children. These initiatives aim to curb the spread of diseases such as influenza, colds, and respiratory infections, and to prevent these illnesses from affecting infants and the elderly, who are most at risk of their fatal outcomes.

PalMed extends its sincere gratitude to its doners and to all who have contributed to the establishment of this medical point.

Together, we can.

Rafah Crossing – Egyptian Side

After spending two weeks of volunteer service in hospitals in the north and south of the Gaza Strip, members of PalMedEurope’s fifth specialised international delegation left Palestine today, Monday, and arrived at the Egyptian side of the Rafah Crossing.

By the Grace and Guidance of God, consultant colleagues in the following specialties: (Intensive Care and Anaesthesia – Vascular Surgery – Burn and Cosmetic Surgery – Emergency Surgery – Intensive Care Nursing – Orthopaedic Surgery – Anaesthesia and Emergency) were able to perform dozens of specialised surgical operations and interventions for the wounded and patients from among our people in the Gaza Strip. The delegation also managed to deliver quantities of medical supplies, devices, and medications urgently needed for Gaza’s hospitals.

In this regard, we extend our thanks and appreciation to colleagues and members of the delegation and to all donors and supports of PalMedEurope’s activities who contribute towards the success of our delegations’ missions, and the delivery of medications, and medical equipment. Special thanks also go to PalMed’s office in Gaza and to our dedicated colleagues and medical staff working in the Strip’s hospitals.

We also extend our gratitude to Rahma Worldwide Foundation with whom our delegations that reached the Strip joined ranks. We affirm that PalMedEurope will continue to equip and send medical delegations, and to arrange and implement sustainable relief projects to support the health sector there until Gaza’s hospitals return to a better state than they were before Israel’s barbaric aggression against Gaza and its sustained targeting of its health sector, God Willing. We pray to the Almighty to dispel the injustice and aggression that Israel continues to perpetrate against our people as soon as possible.

Amen!
