The lack of freedom of movement experienced by the people of Gaza takes many forms, and curtails people’s freedom to access healthcare in a number of ways:
- Doctors and patients are not free to leave or enter Gaza without permits, which are frequently rejected and which take a long time to issue if approved
- Medications, as well as medical equipment and supplies cannot move freely in and out of the territory, which has caused a crisis in healthcare provision in Gaza
We aim to address these issues and raise awareness in partnership with the PCRF by sponsoring the following projects:
1. Sending injured and sick children abroad for free medical care
2. Sponsoring medical missions to provide treatment in Gaza
3. Sponsoring physical therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy in Northern Gaza
4. Training for doctors and nurses in Pediatric Cancer Care abroad
Supporting these projects through sponsorship has the potential to positively impact the lives of around 1,500 children directly, with many times more that will benefit over the long-term. This will be achieved by providing life-saving and life changing treatments to those most in need, by training over 30 medical practitioners, and by putting in place the infrastructure, expertise and resources necessary to create a sustainable, effective healthcare provision that is tailored to the needs of the population in Gaza.

Every human is entitled to their freedoms; the freedom to live, of choice, of movement, of thought; and our actions can help shape them.
