UK-Med has received 2⃣4⃣ pallets of vital medical supplies for our facilities in #Gaza — the first delivery since early 2025.
This includes items such as gauze, pain relief and antibiotics, delivered with support from the @FCDOGovUK.

During conflict, timing can make the difference between life and death.
That’s why expert training is essential to provide quality care as quickly as possible.
Since March 2022, UK-Med has trained over 25,000 civilians and healthcare workers in Ukraine to help save lives. ❤️🩹

Mohammad, a fisherman from Rafah, sustained a gunshot wound whilst trying to collect aid from a distribution point and was sent to UK-Med’s surgical team.
This commitment to providing medical care for those caught up in the conflict remains steadfast — and continues daily.

English teacher, Lina, was at a café when all of a sudden she felt a burning sensation all over her body. She couldn’t open her eyes.
Lina’s heartbreaking story is like so many others in Gaza today, trying to survive against the odds.

UK-Med runs two of the last remaining field hospitals in Gaza.
We also support the last functioning local hospital in southern Gaza, Nasser Medical Complex.
We’ve been there since the beginning.
The situation is desperate.
Keep the hospitals open.

🔴 We need your help. And we need it now. 🔴
Keep the last hospitals in Gaza open.
People are being injured in intensifying airstrikes. Dying from treatable illnesses. Everyone is hungry.
Most hospitals have been destroyed.

The healthcare system in Gaza is near collapse. Aid supplies must be allowed in, medical workers protected, and the sick and wounded allowed to temporarily leave Gaza for treatment.
The UK is bolstering medical support for Palestinians through @UKMed, @UNOCHA and @WHOEgypt.
