We will be responding to the current emergency in Gaza, where hospitals are struggling to cope with an influx of serious injuries. The already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening.

Salam Charity is working with a partner called Medical Aid for Paletinians (MAP). Palestine have a Central Drug Store (CDS) that provide medicine and medical supplies to all the hospitals.

After a needs assessment, we realised that the greatest need in Gaza is to support the hospitals with supplies. The Palestinian Minister of Health said that hospitals in Gaza are “working beyond their capacity to treat the wounded as a result of the occupation’s aggression, and as a result the hospitals in the Strip are out of service”. We will work closely alongside our partners on the ground to supply to prepare our humanitarian response and support as many hospitals as possible.

Major relief agencies like WHO provide the medicine to the CDS, and MAP are one of the biggest suppliers of the CDS.
