Let’s fund a primary health center in Gaza!
🚨 Gaza strip needs at least 6,000 hospital beds, says Dr Raphaël Pitti, war doctor expert returning from humanitarian mission beginning May.
The collapse of health care services because of bombardments, the emergency treatment provided on the ground, the shortages of water, food and medicines, not to mention skin infections caused by overcrowding and lack of everything: there are no more words left to describe the catastrophic health situation of the people who can not even find a safe place.
Today, we have the opportunity to work with Dr Pitti and open a first-aid center in Gaza. It will be staffed by Palestinian care workers (doctor + nurse + midwife) who just want to do their job and help the people.
This project will cover:
– building of a primary health center and equipment to work
– operating costs (electricity, water, etc.)
– medicines
– covering 6 months wages for the medical team (5 people workers)
Total budget: €100,000

The achievement in image
The primary health center, designed to be mobile, is located in the central Gaza Strip, in the Al Nuseirat area and opened in December 2024 . It is able to follow the forced displacement of the people in the most populated areas. There are 2 full-time general practitioners and part-time support staff, i.e. 4 nurses and 2 pharmacists. It aims at relieving the pressure on the remaining hospitals by providing basic primary care, handling infectious diseases (e.g. skin) and chronic illnesses (diabetes, hypertension). Children are mainly treated for childhood illnesses and malnutrition (staff provide protein and nutrient-rich supplements). Women are treated mainly for pre- and post-natal check-ups, as well as family planning to prevent maternal and infant mortality. Men are treated for emergency and trauma care, as well as chronic illnesses. Care is also provided for the elderly, disabled and chronically ill people.
