Amid Ongoing Aggression, Displaced Persons Face Harsh Winter Conditions

As the deliberate Israeli aggression continues, over two million displaced individuals are enduring severe hardships in shelters and tents, struggling to protect themselves from fierce winds, freezing temperatures, and relentless rain. This ordeal is further exacerbated by a critical shortage of medical services and essential medicines needed to combat the spread of diseases that thrive under these harsh conditions. Additionally, there is an alarming lack of blankets and warm clothing.

Recent reports have confirmed the tragic deaths of three infants due to the bitter cold sweeping through the displacement camps in the Mawaasi Khan Younis area, south of the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the United Nations has issued a warning that displaced families living in temporary and volatile shelters may not survive the harsh winter season.

In response, PalMed continues its efforts to support the healthcare sector in these areas by establishing medical points that provide essential health services and treatment to refugees, especially children. These initiatives aim to curb the spread of diseases such as influenza, colds, and respiratory infections, and to prevent these illnesses from affecting infants and the elderly, who are most at risk of their fatal outcomes.

PalMed extends its sincere gratitude to its doners and to all who have contributed to the establishment of this medical point.

Together, we can.
