Field Dental Services for the Displaced

Field Dental Services for the displaced

Project Summary

With the war on Gaza entering its second year, access to dental services has been grossly compromised. GPAA is proud to support field dental services to provide dental care to children in the tent camps of the displaced in various areas of Gaza.

Impact and Results

Dental services to our people in the displaced camps across Gaza is crucial for several reasons:

Pain Relief: Oral pain can significantly impair the population’s ability to function effectively. Dental treatment can alleviate their pain.  

Nutrition: Dental problems can hinder a the displaced women and children ability to eat properly, leading to malnutrition

Abscesses and Infections: Untreated dental conditions can lead to abscesses and infections, which can spread to other health issues.

Psychological Well-being: Dental pain can contribute to psychological distress. Addressing dental issues can improve overall mental health of the displaced people in Gaza
