The Palestinian Medical Association in Europe – France Branch (PalMed France) successfully concluded its scientific medical conference in Geneva, Switzerland, held on 24–25 January 2026 under the title: “Malnutrition and Famine in Gaza,” with broad international and academic participation.

The conference brought together a distinguished group of doctors, consultants, and academic experts from several European countries, along with representatives from major international organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). Participants delivered scientific presentations addressing the current healthcare and humanitarian challenges in Gaza, particularly the severe impact of war, malnutrition, and shortages of medical resources.
A key highlight of the conference was the participation of university professors and doctors from Gaza who joined remotely via Zoom, sharing real-time insights into the ongoing healthcare crisis and the daily challenges faced by medical teams working under extremely difficult humanitarian conditions. Their contributions added a powerful scientific and human dimension to the conference discussions.
The event was attended by healthcare professionals, humanitarian workers, researchers, and public health specialists from across Europe, making it an important scientific platform for knowledge exchange, international medical collaboration, and raising awareness about the devastating effects of malnutrition and famine on Gaza’s population, especially children, women, and vulnerable communities.
At the conclusion of the conference, PalMed France reaffirmed its commitment to organizing further scientific and medical events, strengthening international partnerships, and continuing to support the Palestinian healthcare system through capacity building, research collaboration, and humanitarian medical initiatives aimed at improving healthcare services in Palestine and other regions facing humanitarian crises.

Continuing the efforts of the Palestinian Medical Association in Europe – Denmark Branch in supporting the healthcare sector in Gaza, the association has successfully rehabilitated and equipped an operating theatre at Al-Wafaa Hospital in Gaza City to strengthen surgical capacity and improve access to essential medical care under extremely challenging conditions.

Following the completion of the operating theatre refurbishing, several surgical procedures were performed immediately, addressing the urgent needs of a large number of patients who had been waiting for various surgical interventions. This initiative has contributed to reducing pressure on healthcare workers and improving timely access to life-saving surgical services.

This project comes as part of ongoing support for the Palestinian Health system early recovery plan for healthcare institutions in Gaza, many of which have suffered extensive destruction during the prolonged conflict, resulting in severe damage to the healthcare infrastructure and an urgent need for rehabilitation.

In this context, PalMed  reaffirms its continued commitment to fulfilling its humanitarian and professional responsibilities by mobilizing its financial and human resources to support the healthcare sector in Gaza and across Palestine, working closely with local and international partners to strengthen the resilience of the healthcare system and ensure access to medical care for those in need.

Together, we heal the wounds.

PalMed Europe, in cooperation with its Sweden branch and the humanitarian organisation Norwac, has successfully secured and delivered essential medicines and medical supplies required for the treatment of Guillain–Barré Syndrome (GBS) in Gaza.

Recent figures from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) indicate a concerning rise in GBS cases — a rare but potentially life-threatening neurological condition in which the immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system.

As of 31 July 2025, 64 cases had been reported, including 27 children under the age of 15 — a dramatic increase compared to the pre-war average of five cases per year.

According to the World Health Organization, Gaza had no available stock of Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG), the primary and life-saving treatment for GBS.
On 4 August, the Ministry of Health confirmed three deaths linked to the condition, including two children.

PalMed’s Commitment

This shipment represents part of PalMed Europe’s continuous efforts to support Gaza’s health system and provide life-saving interventions. We pray for safety, healing, and protection for our people and patients.

Special thanks go to our colleagues in the Sweden branch for leading this important initiative.

Together, we heal the wounds.

Dublin – 24 September 2025

Trinity College Dublin, one of Ireland’s most prestigious universities, hosted the launch of the English edition of “A Surgeon’s Diary in Gaza: A Testimony to Genocide” on Tuesday, 23 September. The event was organised by the Palestinian Doctors Association in Europe – Ireland Branch (PalMed Ireland) in collaboration with the European Medical Professionals Association (EMPA).

 

The launch was part of a series of activities organised by PalMed Ireland to condemn the repeated attacks on hospitals and healthcare facilities in Gaza by the occupying forces, as explained by Dr Mahmoud Abu Marzouk, Chair of the PalMed Ireland Founding Committee.

The event was attended by representatives of Irish political parties, social and healthcare organisations, as well as a large audience of Irish citizens showing strong solidarity with the Palestinian cause.

Representing EMPA in Ireland, Dr Abdel Baset Al-Sayyed spoke about the organisation’s mission and its efforts to support the Palestinian health sector and advocate for the rights of healthcare workers. Dr Andy, a GP with Irish Healthcare Workers for Palestine (IHCW4P), also addressed the audience, reaffirming the Irish medical community’s commitment to standing alongside their colleagues in Gaza.

 

The programme was skilfully moderated by Rebecca O’Keeffe (MPhil, Trinity College Dublin), a researcher pursuing a PhD on peace studies in the Middle East. The speeches shared powerful, first-hand stories of the suffering endured by Palestinian patients, medical staff, and civilians in Gaza. One of the most impactful moments came from Dr Ahmed Habib, whose deeply moving address resonated strongly with the audience.

The event included a lively Q&A session, allowing attendees to share their thoughts and engage directly with the speakers. The large turnout reflected the growing public interest and solidarity within Irish society towards Palestine.

Among the distinguished guests were the Malaysian Ambassador to Ireland and his wife, alongside many Palestinian doctors working within the Irish healthcare system. The event concluded with great success — over 140 copies of the book were sold immediately after the launch.
