Gaza Humanitarian Crisis
Provide Emergency Medical Relief to the Most Vulnerable

According to Human Rights Watch, at least 28 children have died of malnutrition and dehydration in northern Gaza alone, and 1 in 3 children under 2 are acutely malnourished in Gaza.

The recent war in Gaza left countless families and children homeless, needing immediate medical attention, and basic necessities like water, food, and shelter. Water, food, electricity, basic needs, and medical supplies were cut off while complete neighborhoods were demolished. Thousands of innocent civilians were killed or injured. Thousands are missing. Most hospitals were destroyed or dysfunctional. With lack of power and operating generators, the remaining operating hospitals no longer have the ability to provide care to those in desperate need.

To provide emergency aid, medical and mental health services, we have already sent over 80 tons of food, milk formula, emergency and medical aid to Gaza, supported over 1200 families with food and other basic needs.

“There are over 5000 patients with open wounds. Advanced wound care is vital to ensure proper healing, and the prevention of complications. In addition, there is an urgent need to support the mental health and psychosocial well-being of the displaced families. UOSSM USA is continuing its relief efforts in securing and delivering food essentials to needy families, and needed medical equipment and supplies, and is actively working with local doctors and nurses on the provision of advanced wound care to patients with open wounds, including the use of specialized wound care devices such as “wound vacs”, that are designed for use in crisis areas to treat complicated wounds. These high-quality, specialized wound vacs, were specifically designed with UOSSM technical support during the Syrian crisis, offering effective, quality wound management, at a lower cost, and non-reliant on power. In addition, UOSSM USA is actively working with local psychologists and case workers on initiatives to provide Psychosocial Support Services in displacement camps in Gaza, aiming to address the urgent need for supporting the mental health and psychosocial well-being of displaced families, with focus on women and children.”

It is the main organization in Jordan currently aiding all nonprofit entities such as UOSSM USA, PCRF, MSF, Human Appeal, and others in delivering their aid from Jordan to Gaza.
