    Palestinian Doctors in Europe Launch Project to Support Pregnant Displaced Women in Gaza Camps.

    As part of its ongoing humanitarian efforts, PalMed , through its Denmark and France branches, has launched a project to support pregnant displaced women in Gaza camps.

    The Denmark branch has established a dedicated maternity and gynecology clinic at Yaffa Hospital, while the France branch has initiated a similar project by setting up a medical point in the region.

    These clinics provide regular check-ups for pregnant women, ultrasound scans, and essential medications, including iron supplements and vitamins, all free of charge. These services are critical in light of the fragile healthcare system and the difficulty of accessing medical care in Gaza, where pregnant women face severe shortages of food, medicine, and nutritional supplements.

    This initiative addresses the urgent needs of pregnant women, many of whom struggle to find adequate nutrition during pregnancy due to a dire scarcity of fruits and vegetables. The region faces the looming threat of famine, with 95% of Gaza’s population living under extreme food insecurity, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). Additionally, a report by UN Women highlights that 55% of breastfeeding mothers in Gaza suffer from health conditions that hinder their ability to nurse their babies.

    This project is part of the association’s broader relief efforts, aiming to support these vulnerable groups through medical points established in various locations across Gaza.

    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.

    Update on Recent Visits to Health Care Centres and Mobile Clinics

    During a series of inspection visits today, we gained valuable insight into the ongoing work at several medical stations. Here is a summary of the current situation:

    Mawsis Karrara health care center

    Service delivery continues to improve. Over 200 patients seek daily general medical care here, and the women’s health unit serves 20–25 patients per day. Today, an activity focused on early breast cancer detection was also held. Due to the availability of medical assistance, the number of cases has increased, and the staff’s efforts continue to be invaluable.

    Jarar Al-Qudwa health care centre

    The staff work with dedication, handling approximately 70 patients each day, mostly for skin diseases and upper respiratory tract infections. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of medicines and medical supplies.

    Al-Jazaa’iri Clinic

    This station is expanding and reorganising its facilities to meet the growing demand for specialised medical services. Around 110 cases are treated daily, many of which are skin-related. However, as is the case at other stations, the shortage of medications is a significant challenge.

    Al Rahma Clinic

    The staff at Al-Rahma Station handle around 80 cases daily, involving examinations, treatments, and wound care. They, too, face a shortage of essential medical supplies.

    Despite the challenges, including limited resources and medical supplies, the staff at these centres work tirelessly to maintain high-quality care and meet the needs of their patients. Their commitment and willingness to assist are truly commendable. This vital work continues in the effort to improve healthcare for the most vulnerable.

    Together, We can.

    Mobile Medical Clinics and Healthcare Centres

     

    Launch of Mobile Medical Clinics and Centres for The Palestinian Doctors Association in Europe to Serve Gaza.

     
    Given the immense destruction caused by the recent aggression on Gaza, with a significant number of hospitals and health centres being destroyed and over 36 centres and hospitals rendered completely out of service, the idea of establishing mobile medical clinics plays a crucial role in providing healthcare services to the displaced. Due to the difficulty of transporting citizens to hospitals and the lack of transportation means, this project is considered a beacon of hope for our people in the besieged region. The mobile medical clinic consists of two doctors, two nurses, a paramedic, and an ambulance driver to provide appropriate treatment for 20 days each month.
    This project aims to establish 40 medical points and mobile clinics, offering care to approximately two hundred thousand displaced individuals, with services reaching small communities as needed. The clinics are expected to accommodate nearly four hundred patients per day.
    These objectives are designed to address the immediate health needs of displaced communities, aiming to provide essential healthcare services, minimize the risk of disease transmission, and enhance the overall well-being and safety of the displaced population. Additionally, the project aims to showcase its work through informational videos and extend its reach by establishing the Mobile health clinics and medical centres.
    The project urgently requires support to provide healthcare and prevent the spread of infectious diseases within the shelter centre, especially in the challenging conditions our people are facing as winter sets in.
