Since the beginning of the war on our people, the AFRP Medical Mission has been working tirelessly to respond to the urgent needs of our brothers and sisters in Palestine. They have focused on two critical tracks: providing immediate humanitarian assistance and establishing long-term capacity development programs for health professionals.
We are incredibly proud to announce that our Medical Mission will launch a specialized training program for diploma-holding Occupational Therapists (OTs) in Gaza. This program directly addresses the overwhelming need for skilled care providers, empowering OTs in Gaza with enhanced skills to deliver high-quality care to the countless amputees — many of whom are children.
Through this program, we are empowering these therapists to provide long-term, impactful care to their most vulnerable, transforming lives far beyond the immediate crisis.
In addition to these efforts, our Medical Mission, working alongside our Human Services Network (AFRHSN), continues to deliver humanitarian aid, including food, medicine and essential supplies, supporting the ongoing humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
