Medical Makeshift Facilities

Project Summary

In light of the destruction of most, if not all, of the hospitals in Gaza, GPAA has strived to establish various makeshift medical clinics throughout the strip, serving the displaced people in the tent camps.

Impact and Results

Makeshift clinics in Gaza provide essential healthcare services to displaced people in the tent camps, often in challenging and dangerous conditions. These clinics play a vital role in mitigating suffering and improving outcomes for vulnerable populations. Here are some of the key benefits:

Immediate medical care: Makeshift clinics offer timely access to medical treatment, which can be life-saving in emergency situations.
Disease prevention and control: Clinics implement measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, such as vaccination campaigns and sanitation practices.
Trauma care: They provide immediate care for injured people, reducing mortality rates.
Mental health support: In war-torn Gaza, mental health issues are prevalent. Makeshift clinics offer counseling and support services to those affected by trauma.
Access to essential medicines: Clinics distribute essential medications and supplies, ensuring that displaced people have access to necessary treatments.
Community health education: Clinics provide health education to displaced populations, promoting healthy behaviors and disease prevention.
Relief and comfort: The presence of makeshift clinics offer a sense of relief and comfort to displaced people, who often face significant hardship.
