Zena's Medical Trip

Donation protected
My name is Zena Saleh, and I am a general surgery resident in New Jersey who is traveling to Gaza on April 15. I will be joining Glia Medical on a medical mission to Gaza under the leadership and authority of the UN, WHO. I plan to use this trip as an opportunity to bring critical items needed by the hospital and population including food, formula, water filters, medical equipment, medications, and other medical supplies. All funds raised will be received by myself, and will be used to purchase supplies for Gaza. All supplies will be purchased in Cairo, Egypt. Please message me if you have questions about the trip, interest in collaboration, or ideas about things to take.

UPDATE

Alhamdulilla, I have returned from my trip to Gaza and wanted to thank everyone for their support and generous donations. Words cannot describe how thankful and appreciative the people of Gaza were towards your donations. The amount of hardship and suffering experienced by these people would harden anyone yet the amount of love and compassion that I have witnessed makes me wish we could do more for them.

The need in Gaza is overwhelming. It's difficult to describe how dire the situation is, but this war has affected almost every aspect of life that cannot be comprehended until one experiences it. Everyone has a story about how the war has affected them. They have all encountered devastation, loss, and destruction that goes beyond the videos we see on social media. I thought I would go on this trip, save some lives, and call it a day but there is no turning back from what I saw. My outlook on life has changed for the better and I want to dedicate my time supporting the people of Gaza.

As team lead of my delegation, I had the opportunity to visit multiple hospitals and field clinics while working with NGOs and healthcare leaders to develop new clinical sites. Through my experiences, I have devised some potential projects that could help support some of the critical deficiencies I have identified in Gaza and would like to ask for your continued support. The projects are outlined below

-Healthcare Worker Sponsorship Program: Sign Up Here
-Hospital Hygiene and Infection Control Program
-Supplies for Clinical Site Development

Meanwhile, I would also encourage you to continue donating to this site for general donations to Gaza. These funds will continue going to food, water, and medical donations to displaced Gazans in Rafah. Please feel free to message me to learn more about how funds were initially allocated and how continued donations will be dispersed. I want to be as transparent as possible with donors since I am just an individual trying to figure this out together with colleagues and your help.

I would also like to share some other donation sites from people I have met in Gaza that are verified and legitimate.
