The COVID-19 pandemic poses a severe threat to the Gaza Strip. Under an Israeli blockade supported by Egypt since 2007, the besieged Palestinian area with over 2 million inhabitants faces a chronic lack of necessary equipment: there are only 56 respirators and 40 intensive care beds.
Founded in 1985, the Union of Health Work Committees (UHWC) is a leading Palestinian health organization. Around 300,000 people benefit from its services in the Gaza Strip every year. Located in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, Al-Awda hospital is administered by the UHWC and provides medical services to thousands of Palestinians. Today, more than ever, Al-Awda hospital needs our support!
This secure platform allows you to make an online donation.

Al-Awda Hospital in Gaza needs support more than ever to buy equipment and develop its structures. In partnership with Collectif Palestine Vaincra, the UHWC will provide regular reports on the use of donations, which will be available on palestinevaincra.com.
