Story
Prior to the escalation of violence, IHP had an existing long-term programme in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. In collaboration with in-country partners and wider humanitarian networks, IHP is coordinating a response to the crisis in Gaza and other affected regions. IHP has been working with others to assess medical needs, scope evolving logistics routes and pack and send a series of medical aid shipments to meet emergency health needs. Because of the longstanding presence of our in-country partners, this has included successfully sending humanitarian aid to where it is needed inside the Gaza strip.
Since the start of the escalation, IHP has sent thirteen shipments of essential medicines and supplies to support more than half a million patients in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon.
These shipments have included essential medical supplies, such as insulin needles and syringes, essential medicine to stop the spread of infections, including antibiotics and water purification tablets, medicine for mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), and medicine for chronic health conditions, including cancer and noncommunicable diseases.
You won't imagine how these critical donated items will make the patients happy in light of lack of medication, especially chronic disease medications. Thank you so much - Ahmed Najjar, Medical Donations Programme Officer, Anera
With the increasing scale of the crisis across the region, IHP is working with our partner to respond to urgent medical needs. Currently, IHP has a further eight shipments in development that will be support more than 251,957 patients over the next few months. As the conflict continues to evolve, so do the health needs of the affected communities. IHP is committed to supporting these communities in accessing the medicine they need free of charge to address the
acute health needs of this crisis as well as longer-term health requirements. We are now seeing a great need for paediatric medicine including those to treat common infections and a continued need for antibiotics, medical supplies, and mental health medicine.
£20 could help 40 patients access medical supplies to help treat trauma injuries as a result of the conflict
£50 could help 50 people receive primary healthcare such as antibiotics
£100 could support 20 patients with three months of treatment for chronic conditions such as diabetes
