The ongoing war on Gaza, the continued displacement, pain, and immeasurable suffering endured by the people there including the children has been heartbreaking to witness as a mother and healthcare worker. The medical needs are stretched beyond limit and it is hard to imagine the daily struggles of those trying to help the wounded so I made this page with the intention to play a small part in helping collect funds for those in desperate need of healthcare there and now Lebanon.

I am so grateful to you for taking the time to visit this justgiving page and joining me to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) a British registered Charity as they help preserve life and dignity by meeting the immense healthcare needs, reinforce and rebuild the healthcare infrastructure that is so devasted and destroyed in Palestine.
