The Palestinian health care system is facing severe shortages of medicines and supplies due to the increasing number of injured people. Additional shipments of medical supplies are currently in transit. Our in-kind medical program and warehouse is distributing medical supplies and disposable items necessary to treat the injured, many of whom are children. Our warehouse has been emptied in the face of such high demand. Your donation pays for the transportation of supplies to clinics and hospitals.
Children are especially vulnerable during the crisis.
The school year has just begun, but many children in the West Bank and Gaza are unable to attend school due to sporadic closures or fear of violence. Young children are already showing the signs of stress from the brutal fighting around them. Children traumatized by violence around them are being counseled and consoled. Even if the violence ended today, optimistically, it would take more than 6 months to recover economically. The situation will remain extremely unstable for the months ahead.
