Humanitarian Aid for Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza

The Humanitarian Aid Program does more than provide medical aid to those in the Gaza strip who need it the most. Every time a deaf child gets a hearing aid, an underfunded clinic receives the medicine, or an isolated community is given much-needed access to a doctor, people are given the tools they need for a better life. Dr. Yehia and a dedicated and brilliant team of volunteers and health professionals work diligently to provide communities in crisis with medical care. They travel to refugee camps and villages cut off from medical care to open clinics, providing emergency aid and ensuring that those who need specialist attention have the resources to obtain it. Dr. Yehia and his team also visit hospitals and clinics in Gaza, donating their time and expertise to the overworked and underfunded institutions that often serve as their communities’ only avenue of healthcare. This summer, the Humanitarian Aid Program began fundraising to buy twenty hospital beds for the ICU of Al-Shifa hospital. American Friends of Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, in partnership with Friends communities from around the world, has made a commitment to support this mission. The fundraiser recently reached its halfway point, representing ten beds for the overworked and underserved hospital. the Humanitarian Aid program gives life, health, and hope to those in need. By supporting their work you support a better future.
