MA’AN Development Center, in partnership with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and through the Community Change Agents team within the project “Enhancing the Capacity of Palestinian Refugees to Influence Their Living Conditions”, implemented a community initiative aimed at improving health services for displaced elderly people, children, and women inside Al-Nuseirat Camp in the Middle Area.
The initiative included providing the Palestinian Medical Center with several medical devices and equipment that contribute to improving the quality of healthcare services, such as a hospital bed, blood pressure monitors, blood glucose testing devices, IV stands, and a medicine storage cabinet.
This initiative comes in response to an urgent need caused by the shortage of medical services and the severe lack of health supplies resulting from the closure of border crossings by the occupation in the Gaza Strip.
It is worth noting that this community initiative is one of forty implemented by the Community Change Agents during the aggression on the Gaza Strip, with the aim of improving displaced people’s access to basic services in the sectors of water, health, food security, protection, and education.
A total of 21,600 citizens benefited from this initiative, while 16 volunteers from the Community Change Agents team participated in its implementation.
These efforts are carried out in cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
