healthcare and hope for palestinians this Christmas

Whilst the people of Gaza are still reeling from the 11-day attack by Israel, COVID-19 is still devastating medical services, and the rollout of vaccines is frustratingly slow.

The surge in infections continues to overwhelm Gaza’s beleaguered health system and exhausted workforce. Premature babies and sick and injured children are always among those whose lives are most at risk when access to healthcare is compromised.

Similarly in the West Bank, communities are now experiencing a fourth wave of COVID-19, and hospitals and clinics are ill-equipped to cope. This is further compounded by frequent medical shortages and ever-tightening restrictions. It also adds extra pressure to communities that are dealing with the effects of annexation and ongoing violence on a daily basis. Palestinian healthcare services need our support now more than ever.

A gift from you today could help deliver vital healthcare services, so that the youngest and most vulnerable Palestinians are protected.

Your donation can help pay for:

Medical equipment and lifesaving medicines and disposables to Palestinian hospitals, including neonatal units.
Replenish medical supplies such as bandages, examination gloves & disenfectant for a mobile health clinic serving vulenerable Palestinian families in Hebron.
Nutritional food packages for malnourished children.

Palestinians have witnessed too much devastation this year, a donation from you could help provide lifesaving medicines and bring hope at the worst of times. You can click here to set up a direct debit or a regular card payment. Thank you

Please treat donation as a Zakat donation

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.

If you would like to discuss your donation further, please contact us on 020 7226 4114 or info@map.org.uk

Thank you for your support.
