It’s been over a year since the attacks on Israel. Since then, nearly 60,000 people have been killed in Gaza.
People are being injured in intensifying airstrikes. Dying from treatable illnesses. Everyone is hungry.
UK-Med teams have provided nearly 700,000 consultations to people in Gaza so far. We have constructed two field hospitals and employ more than 500 local staff who are working alongside international medics (many of them from the NHS) to provide life and limb-saving medical aid.
Your gift can help keep our hospitals open, treating 1200 people a day. Your donation could make the difference between life or death.
“Over my 30 years of humanitarian aid work, this is by far the most challenging situation I have seen.”
– David Wightwick, UK-Med CEO
How we’re responding
Since arriving January 2024, we have provided nearly 700,000 consultations to people in Gaza. Here’s what we’ve delivered so far:
Al Mawasi Field Hospital
Currently seeing around 1000 people a day, the hospital at Al Mawasi was initially built entirely from materials salvaged from the local area.
To allow us to carry out surgeries, we later added a tented field hospital, flown in from Manchester.
Our field hospital in Al Mawasi includes:
- An operating theatre for lifesaving surgical procedures.
- A maternal and child health unit, which has seen several births to date.
- An emergency department for urgent care.
- An in-patient ward
- Physical rehabilitation services to help severely injured patients heal and recover.
Deir El Balah Field Hospital
In response to the overwhelming health needs in Gaza, we constructed a second field hospital in Deir El Balah. This hospital is seeing more than 400 patients per day.
Your support will save lives in the most desperate of times.
What your donation could provide:
£33 could cover the cost of an emergency nurse for a day
£100 could fund a surgical pack including gowns, gloves, caps and facemasks
£300 could cover the cost of ten patients consultations
