Surt for Gaza in Egypt

Medical Advocacy and Support for Medical Evacuees from Gaza 

The Medical advocacy program provides medical education and support to medical evacuees from Gaza. Advocacy is provided to patients waiting in hospitals in Egypt for treatment. Not only are patients displaced to a foreign country with new systems, they are forced to navigate everything on their own. Many patients cannot afford to pay for the costs of life saving surgeries, delaying treatment and causing even more risk to their lives. The evacuees are also struggling with their mental health after experiencing so much trauma and struggling with the loss of family and worrying for the families they were forced to leave behind in Gaza. Medical advocates provide support to patients and are able to advocate on their behalf to ensure that they receive proper medical treatment.

The aim of this project is to provide medical advocacy, education, and cover the costs of medical treatments for medical evacuees from Gaza. Patients and their companions are also provided essential care items, medication, baby diapers and formula as the medical evacuees arrive with nothing. Refugee Alliance is working with a team on the ground and abroad to continue growing this program to support even more medical evacuees from Gaza.

Your donations will cover the costs of  life saving medical care
