Movember: Fundraising for medical aid in Gaza

Amir Ravat is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Medical Aid for Palestinians.

I’m participating in Movember this year to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). MAP works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees.

MAP’s permanent team in Gaza were the first to respond to the current emergency by releasing more than US$570,000 worth of pre-positioned stocks of drugs, medical disposables, and other humanitarian supplies held in our warehouses to hospitals and shelters. Working in the most challenging of circumstances, MAP's team have since sourced and delivered more than $1.8 million of humanitarian supplies from the local market. This includes medicines, disposables and lab reagents for hospitals, and mattresses, blankets and hygiene kits for thousands of people displaced from their homes and sheltering elsewhere. Where local stocks are unavailable, we are seeking to procure from outside Gaza to be brought in as soon as crossings open and aid is allowed in safely. We are working with UN and NGO partners to advocate for immediate, unimpeded, and safe access for humanitarian supplies and personnel into Gaza.

The scale of this emergency is unprecedented, and we need your help urgently to do more. MAP has recently set up operations in Egypt. We have a team there working to procure medicines, disposables, lab reagents, and other lifesaving supplies, and get them into Gaza through the Rafah crossing as soon as it's safe to do so. Please give a gift today and help us ensure that Palestinian health workers have the medical resources they need, as soon as possible. Thank you.
