Restoring Care in Gaza

Across Gaza, Palestinian healthcare workers continue to care for their communities under unimaginable conditions. Together with Alana Hadid and Tommy Marcus, we're launching the next phase of our Restoring Care Campaign, to raise $40,000 USD to fund one month of Glia’s Mobile Wound Care Team, bringing specialized wound care directly to patients who can no longer reach the hospital.

Support Medical Solidarity in Palestine

Across Palestine, healthcare workers continue to care for their communities under unimaginable conditions. Hospitals have been damaged or destroyed. Medical supplies remain severely restricted. Millions have been displaced. Yet doctors, nurses, paramedics, engineers, and support staff continue to save lives every day.

They shouldn't have to do it alone.
Palestinian healthcare workers

That's why we're supporting Glia, a medical solidarity organization working alongside Palestinian healthcare workers to strengthen healthcare systems, expand access to specialized care, and build long-term local capacity.

Together, we are raising $40,000 USD to fund one month of Glia's Mobile Wound Care services in Khan Younis. Together with Palestinian clinicians, Glia is extending lifesaving wound care beyond hospital walls, reaching patients in tents, displacement camps, temporary shelters, and damaged neighborhoods across Khan Younis.

This campaign is part of Glia's $2.1 million Restoring Care Campaign, a long-term initiative to sustain specialized wound care, expand community-based healthcare through mobile teams, strengthen biomedical engineering programs that keep hospitals functioning, and invest in Palestinian healthcare workers leading this work every day.

Every donation helps restore care where it is needed most.

Glia Mobile Wound Care Team

Why Mobile Wound Care?

For thousands of Palestinians living with traumatic injuries, burns, infections, and complex wounds, healing depends on regular follow-up care, not just emergency surgery.

Today, many patients cannot return to the hospital for the ongoing care they need. Some are living with catastrophic injuries that have left them immobile or partially paralyzed. Others are caring for children or family members and cannot leave for repeated hospital visits. At the same time, roads have been destroyed, transportation is scarce and prohibitively expensive, and repeated displacement makes travel both difficult and dangerous. As a result, many patients miss essential dressing changes and follow-up appointments, increasing the risk of severe infection, tissue loss, amputation, and preventable hospital re-admissions.

Glia's Mobile Wound Care Team will bring specialized treatment directly to patients where they are. Operating four days each week, the team will travel throughout Khan Younis to provide in-person wound care, monitor healing, perform dressing changes, identify complications early, and coordinate referrals when patients require hospital-based treatment.

The multidisciplinary team will include six specialized wound care clinicians, supported by a mental health professional, physiotherapist, and nutritionist, ensuring patients receive comprehensive care that addresses both physical recovery and overall well-being.

Keeping this service on the road requires significant logistical support. Fuel, vehicle maintenance, medical supplies, and transportation costs remain extraordinarily high in Gaza, making community-based healthcare both essential and resource-intensive.

Your support will fund one month of mobile wound care operations, helping Palestinian healthcare workers reach patients who would otherwise go without treatment and ensuring lifesaving care continues long after hospital discharge.

Glia's Restoring Care Campaign is rebuilding healthcare across three interconnected areas:

01

Recovering Care in Hospitals

Supporting specialized wound care services, strengthening clinical teams, and ensuring hospitals have the equipment and expertise needed to continue providing lifesaving care.

02

Recovering Care in Communities

Launching mobile wound care teams that bring treatment directly to displaced families and patients who cannot safely reach hospitals.

03

Recovering Care Through Stronger Health Systems

Repairing essential medical equipment, supporting Palestinian biomedical engineers, training healthcare workers, and strengthening the systems that allow healthcare to continue despite ongoing challenges.

Glia Advanced Wound Care Team

Why Glia?

Glia is a medical solidarity organization that has been working alongside Palestinian healthcare workers to strengthen local healthcare systems in Gaza since 2012.

In partnership with Palestinian clinicians and the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Glia invests in specialized medical care, workforce development, biomedical engineering, and open-source innovation so healthcare remains locally led and endures over time.

  • Sustain mobile wound care services that bring specialized treatment directly to patients unable to reach hospitals.
  • Expand community-based wound care teams across Khan Younis, Deir al-Balah, and Gaza City, reaching tens of thousands of Palestinians requiring ongoing wound care.
  • Sustain and strengthen advanced wound care services within Gaza's major hospitals, ensuring continuity of care from hospital admission through community recovery.
  • Train Palestinian clinicians and future leaders in advanced wound care and rehabilitation.
  • Strengthen biomedical engineering programs that keep critical medical equipment functioning despite ongoing shortages.
  • Expand access to essential medical supplies, equipment, and specialized technologies.
  • Build a stronger, more resilient Palestinian healthcare system led by Palestinian healthcare workers.

Why We're Standing Together

Alana Hadid
“For my birthday, I'm asking people to celebrate by helping restore care in Gaza. Palestinian healthcare workers continue showing up for their patients every day with extraordinary courage. Funding one month of advanced wound care at Nasser Medical Complex is a meaningful way we can stand with them and help keep lifesaving care available.”

Alana Hadid

“Real solidarity means showing up when it matters. This campaign is about helping Palestinian doctors, nurses, and engineers continue the work they're already leading. Together, we can fund another month of advanced wound care at Nasser and help recover care for the people who need it most.”
