UOSSM USA Continues Fundraising Campaign to Support Hospitals in Gaza
A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Gaza due to the recent attacks, including attacks on hospitals and medical facilities.
Our ultimate goal is to raise $300,000 to provide medical aid to hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza and the West Bank in Palestine. You can help replenish the shortage of medicines and medical equipment resulting from those attacks, and ensure continuation of healthcare provision to those in need of medical care. We can’t do this without your support.
