Ship Medical Aid to Lebanon

Since our last update, we have been able to deliver a few more emergency aid shipments to the Levant region. This was possible largely due to separate fundraisers we’ve run to cover freight costs.

We currently have several aid offers from in-kind donors and hospitals which are desperately needed by our partners in the Levant. We still need to raise money to be able to send them over there!

Lebanon - Hygiene and Medical support

One of the deliveries was a full container of medical equipment to Lebanon. The donation sent included 40,000 reusable menstrual pads, water filters, tourniquets, and durable medical equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, and hospital beds.

Here’s what our partners Anera had to say:

“The donation was distributed to ten health centers, reaching vulnerable Lebanese outside refugee camps and Palestinians inside refugee camps. At a time when Lebanon’s economic crisis has deeply strained healthcare and support systems, this assistance is both urgent and transformative."

In Lebanon, the ministry of health is in a prepositioning state, improving the readiness of hospitals in anticipation of instability. Elderly support is needed, as well as medicine, hygiene kits, and medical equipment. We are very grateful that we were able to get this much needed aid sent to Lebanon at the end of April.

Jordan - Medical equipment

In our last update, we shared that we had an ultrasound machine ready for dispatch to Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan, where a lot of families from Gaza are being evacuated to. Since then, we have sent the machine and it has arrived in Jordan

Palestine - Forced pause to aid delivery

Sadly, political influence is currently making it impossible for us, along with most humanitarian organisations, to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza and the West Bank. While we are doing what we can to provide for Palestinians who have been evacuated to Jordan and Lebanon, pressure must be put on Israeli authorities to allow humanitarian work to proceed in Palestine.

If you wish to help, please consider contacting your political representative and spreading awareness within your networks about the blockade on humanitarian aid and the ban on journalists that restrict information about conditions in Gaza.
