MADRE and our partner organization, the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, are responding to the violence in Gaza by providing medical care to injured Palestinians, particularly women and children.
The escalation of violence in Gaza has caused high numbers of civilian casualties and life in Gaza has been put at tremendous risk. Women and children in Gaza were already vulnerable, and now the area's medical and sanitation infrastructure has been destroyed. Hospitals are without power. Doctors are running out of emergency medical supplies to treat the wounded. The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 500 and the number of injured is now more than 2,000.
MADRE is raising funds to send to our partner organization so that they can buy desperately needed emergency medical equipment, including every type of blood, sterilization kits, needles, anesthetics, and catheters.
Emergency medical care provided by the Palestinian Medical Relief Society can save the lives of dozens of individuals in Gaza. Providing care now will better equip Palestinians to weather the crisis and rebuild their communities in the future.
We are afraid to leave our homes. We cannot work, the children cannot go to school. Every day there are more deaths, more injuries, and fewer places for people to be treated safely.
