Al-Salama Charitable Society signed a project of home health services for the wounded and disabled people in the marginalized areas in the Gaza Strip, based on treating them in their homes, with a fund of 100,000 dollars for a year by the Cinta Gaza Malaysia (CGM). 

The Executive Director of Al-Salama Charitable Society, Abdullah Al-Hajjar, said: “The idea of the home medical visits project for the wounded and disabled came in cooperation with the Palestinian Ministry of Health, in light of the economic and health deteriorating conditions in the Strip, the increase in the number of patients, and the difficulty of moving to medical centers to receive health services.”

He pointed out that this project works through a specialized medical team consisting of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and psychological support, as they move in all areas of the Strip to provide quality home health services. Al-Hajjar aspires to make this project continuous because of its importance in strengthening the Palestinian health sector.

He extended his thanks to the Cinta Gaza for being the first institution that took interest in this project by providing it with full support, and for its great efforts to serve the humanitarian work in the Gaza Strip.

For his part, Director of Programs at the Cinta Gaza Malaysia, Alaa Mansour, said that the aim of this project is to improve the health situation and fill the deficit in medical and rehabilitation services for the wounded and disabled in the Gaza Strip, stressing the need to integrate people with the disabled into society, to achieve the principle of social solidarity, pointing out that this project contributes to providing job opportunities, even if limited, through the formation of medical teams working in it.

The medical cadre working in the association and representatives of the Cinta Gaza Malaysia set out for a field visit to some of the wounded and disabled people to provide them with the necessary medical services.

It is noteworthy that the Gaza Strip has been suffering from a suffocating Israeli siege for 15 years, and the closure of the crossings, which led to the health problems that went worse and worse after the aggression of the occupation on the Strip in July 2014, leaving hundreds of martyrs, thousands wounded, and the disabled and orphans.
