Healthcare Support for the People of Gaza

Medialthea supports EMERGENCY’s healthcare activities in al-Qarara and al-Mawasi, two areas of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.

In al-Qarara, EMERGENCY’s team — on site since August 2024 — runs a clinic equipped with an emergency room, four outpatient clinics, a gynaecological unit, a vaccination room, and a dispensary. The facility provides first aid, medical and surgical stabilisation, reproductive health services, and nutritional support for children with severe malnutrition. Every day, around 240 patients are treated, almost half of them minors.

In al-Mawasi, EMERGENCY offers medical and logistical support to a primary healthcare centre managed by the local NGO CFTA – Culture & Free Thought Association. Patients receive free basic care, medicines, and post-operative dressings, while EMERGENCY’s staff supervises and trains local personnel and ensures the supply of essential medical materials. Since the start of activities, the centre has provided over 26,000 consultations.

Medialthea contributes to this intervention by:

Strengthening the medical and nursing staff working in the two clinics
Providing medicines and healthcare materials essential to ongoing operations
Ensuring free access to primary and emergency care for adults and children
Supporting the continuity of healthcare services in critical humanitarian conditions
