Our Gaza clinics operate where a health system has effectively stopped. Teams work out of shelter rooms and tented treatment areas, seeing whoever presents, with a caseload dominated by wound care, respiratory infection, skin disease, malnutrition and untreated chronic illness.
The work is unglamorous and repetitive and it is what keeps people alive: dressings changed properly, antibiotics dispensed as a full course rather than a partial one, blood pressures taken, children weighed, and referral arranged for anything beyond what a tent can hold.
Everything is carried under one banner, emergency relief from the people of Pakistan to the people of Gaza, and delivered by Pakistani clinicians alongside local staff.

Flood relief distribution
Staple food, clean water and cash reach households in South Punjab and Balochistan through volunteers who know which families lost everything.
Food parcels and hot meals
Family food parcels handed over at the shelter door, and hot meals cooked and served where families have no way to cook at all.
