How difficult is it to operate a field hospital in #Gaza❓
Hear from Jay giving some insight into the situation on the ground.
Our main priority is ensuring our staff and patients have the essentials they need in this deeply challenging environment.
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. ❤️🩹
📢 To date, the Gaza Hospital Appeal has raised funds to provide over 2,000 consultations to the people in #Gaza.
Your support is a beacon of hope to the UK-Med staff and patients, who are against the odds. 🤝
Each donation helps save lives. ❤️🩹
Thank you.

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 in #Gaza 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 pulsating buzz in her ear followed by a burning sensation all over her body. She couldn’t open her eyes.

🚨 Every person should get the healthcare they need when crises hit. That’s why we’ve delivered 400,000+ consultations in #Gaza.
This milestone is a testament to the efforts of our teams, despite the increasingly volatile context since the collapse of the ceasefire

First aid saves lives.
The first person on scene to a casualty isn’t always a medic. That’s why instructors like Olena in #Ukraine are so important; training civilians in how to deal with the worst-case scenario and buying vital time for the emergency services to arrive. 🚑
Last week, we concluded a joint medical assessment to #Syria w/ @cadus.bsky.social identifying key challenges:
💥 Very high levels of unexploded ordnance.

For thousands of people in remote communities of #Ukraine, UK-Med mobile medical units are one of the very few chances to receive medical care where access to doctors is almost impossible. 💙💛
🚑 Our team is on hand to support people like Nina and Svitlana and ensure they are not alone.
At the UK-Med field hospital in #Gaza, surgeons removed a bullet from 3-year-old Razan’s neck, which had narrowly missed her spinal cord.
“Razan is much better now, but she is still psychologically damaged…She is too young to have to endure any of this”- Diyar, Razan’s father, explains.
This is Daraa City, #Syria captured by our teams this month. Elsewhere Syrians live among the rubble with 75% of the population requiring food, water, medicines and electricity.
UK-Med is currently conducting an initial medical assessment to establish this need and how support could be delivered.
The situation for people caught at the frontline of the conflict in #Ukraine remains desperate.
But, among this, are the individual stories of hope and resilience. 💙💛
