Before any cases of coronavirus were confirmed in Gaza, MECA reached out to our community partners to figure out how we can help prepare the clinics and hospitals in Gaza who face chronic shortages of medicine and medical supplies due to the Israeli siege.
MECA provided funds for the Union of Health Work Committees, the third largest health care provider in Gaza, to purchase N95 masks and other personal protective equipment for their staff along with antiseptic solution and other basic cleaning supplies.
Meanwhile, we are working on bringing large shipment of medicine into Gaza from Egypt.
