Gaza

A Dieu, Adnan

After six months of conflict in Gaza, the medical infrastructure has severely deteriorated, with many facilities no longer operational. The European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis remains one of the few still functioning. British plastic surgeon Dr. Victoria Rose has been documenting her experiences at the hospital through a video diary. 

'Huge amount' of Gaza surgery on children, says UK doctor

Our main objective in the current emergency was to get surgical teams and life-saving equipment/supplies into Gaza as soon as possible. Our first team worked at the European Gaza hospital, Khan Younis, for two weeks from 27th December 2023, our second team returned from the same hospital a fortnight ago, and our third team travel out on Sunday 25th February...

To date nearly 1.5 million Syrian refugees who have fled the conflict are in Lebanon. Almost half of those affected by the crisis are children and adolescents under 18. The children are currently growing up at risk, deprived, of acute basic services and protection. With ongoing violence in Syria and a worsening humanitarian crisis inside Syria this figure will rise.

Not long after the beginning of their terrible civil war Bosnians became aware of, and thoroughly fed up with, fleeting visitors to their country who arrived armed with promises of help and equipped with cameras to record their visit. Unfortunately too many were like Macbeth’s “poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more”

In the past year the world has become accustomed to disasters of one sort or another. Quite obviously the worst ones are those produced by nature but in the last year we have witnessed man made tragedies that were unfortunately very close to home.

In theory the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) has the lead responsibility for ensuring an integrated package of care for persons with disability (PWD) and their families in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. However, despite the presence of very favourable legislation, implementation is poor.

The villagers of Bedadi on the Pakistan Kashmir border were made homeless when their houses were destroyed in the earthquake of 2005. After initially providing emergency relief (in the form of shelter, food and essential non-food items) IDEALS then purchased a piece of land on which to build new homes.

IDEALS financially supported the first Primary Trauma Care course in Delhi at the Apollo Hospital in September 2005. This was the first of such courses that had taken place with a Pakistani teaching faculty, Indian doctors and IDEALS Chairman, John Beavis. It confirmed that warm friendship can exist between the two countries when political differences are forgotten and was entirely within the founding ethos of the charity.

April 29th Gaza Crisis Update

 As of April 8, 2024, the conflict in Gaza has resulted in 33,207 deaths and 75,933 injuries, with women and children making up 70% of the fatalities. Heavy fighting continues with only 10 of 36 hospitals partially operational due to severe shortages. Over 1.8 million people are displaced, facing critical shortages of water, food, and medical supplies. A staggering increase in malnutrition among children has been reported, with many suffering from communicable diseases. Amidst these conditions, humanitarian efforts are focused on delivering emergency medical aid and planning for long-term recovery and rehabilitation. Urgent donations are requested to support these life-saving missions.
