breast cancer Appeal

Women in Gaza are more likely to die from breast cancer than women in the UK or Israel

For a woman suffering under siege in Gaza or even living under occupation in Palestine, the odds of surviving breast cancer are unfairly stacked against her.

Cancer patients whose permits to exit Gaza for treatment were 50% more likely to die in subsequent years*. Time and again they’re denied access to life-saving treatments because they live in Gaza. We are urgently raising money to provide women with life-saving cancer medication and treatment and increase their chances of survival.

Your donation can help us pay for medicines like Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin and get them into the hands of doctors in the oPT who need them to treat various types of cancer in patients.

By setting up a monthly donation, you can help get vital medicines and medical supplies into hospitals that need them urgently to treat patients.

Info

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is the obligation for Muslims to give a proportion of their wealth to charity each year. 

How does Medical Aid for Palestinians use Zakat Donations?

Across the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), Palestinian hospitals are in desperate need of basic, yet essential medicines and medical supplies. Many medical items needed to treat patients are regularly in short supply or have already ran out completely. At Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), we help by purchasing as many urgently needed medicines, medical supplies and equipment as we can. We can only do this thanks to the financial support we receive from supporters like you. You can choose to make your donation to us a 'Zakat donation' by selecting the checkbox in our donation forms. 

MAP uses 100% of all the Zakat donations we receive to respond to the ongoing medicines and medical supply emergency in Gaza and in the West Bank. If you want to make a Zakat donation, please remember to tick the Zakat box on the donation page.

You can make your Zakat Gift have even greater impact by adding Gift Aid to your donation.
