Great news! Through our amazing and incredibly talented in Gaza, we have set up a medical point in North Gaza that will serve 15,000 people!

The Port Camp, west of Gaza City, now homes over 15,000 people who have been displaced after forced evacuation from other areas in the North. It is one of the poorest encampments since families fled there with nothing. It is also one of the most under supported areas due to the shear number of residents and the massive needs.
The Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project
@sameerproject North team chose the Port Camp for our new Medical Point for exactly these reasons. There are injured and sick, young and old, all with dire medical needs. The healthcare system in Gaza is non existant, particularly in the North where every hospital has been rendered either partially or completely out of service. Clinics have shut down, and doctors and nurses cannot keep up with the new injuries that come in daily and the ailments that grow worse with neglect.
In this new medical point we have a general practitioner doctor, two nurses, a dentist, a physiotherapist, all offering services for free to those in need. With your help we will keep a fully stocked pharmacy with medication for fevers, chest infection, mild pain killers, skin rashes, respiratory illnesses, antibiotics, antiseptics, and more. We will clean and redress wounds, examine patients who are ill, and help people heal.
However, a fully functioning medical point in an overcrowded area like the Port Camp is an immense undertaking nd we need your help. It cost $15,000-$20,000 each month to keep running and to source medication and supplies like gauze and iodine to keep in stock. Without us, this area has no other medical support.
Be a part of caring for Gaza’s sick and wounded. Your initial contributions allowed us to open this Medical Point, and now we need to keep it running for all those who have benefited and the thousands more we will serve.
