Gaza, Palestine

The State of Qatar has established a first aid station at HH The Father Amir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani Hospital for Rehabilitation and Prosthetics in Gaza, funded by Qatar Fund for Development, to treat emergency cases in northern Gaza and injured individuals waiting for aid.

The medical point, which receives hundreds of patients, provides rapid response to treat injuries through a specialized medical and nursing team dedicated to serving the wounded, offering available treatment, and referring some cases to hospitals run by the Ministry of Health in Gaza and other facilities, using ambulances operated by the Ministry of Health, the Palestinian Red Crescent, and medical services.

Over the past few weeks, the hospital has treated around 2538injured individuals, and received Nearly 220 martyrs, including 1227 injuries and 119 martyrs in the last week alone.

Mr. Fahad Hamad Al-Sulaiti, Director General of Qatar Fund for Development and Chairman of the Hospital’s Board of Directors, stated:
“In line with the Fund’s commitment to humanitarian work and our sense of responsibility towards our brothers and sisters in Gaza, we continue to support HH The Father Amir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani Hospital for Rehabilitation and Prosthetics in Gaza, to ensure the delivery of care to those in need under the most difficult circumstances.”

He also renewed his call for the international community to take a firm stance that allows for the immediate and safe entry of aid and ensures the protection of civilians and humanitarian workers.

He added:
“The severe escalation in Gaza and the direct targeting of civilians impose an undeniable moral and humanitarian responsibility on the international community. Systematic starvation, lack of medical resources, and ongoing aggression are crimes that only deepen the suffering of innocent people, and they must stop immediately. Humanitarian aid is not a tool of pressure and must never be used as a weapon against the vulnerable

Mr. Ahmad Naeem, Director General of Hamad Hospital, stated:

“The establishment of the first aid and emergency point comes as part of the hospital’s humanitarian duty amid the collapse and weakness of the health system in the Gaza Strip, due to the systematic targeting of hospitals. This is in addition to the deteriorating field conditions in the northern area near the hospital, which witnesses a daily influx of large numbers of injured individuals waiting for aid.”

He continued:

“The responsibility is immense and requires the joint efforts of all international and local medical institutions to help alleviate the suffering of these wounded individuals by supplying the medical point with the necessary equipment and supplies, especially in light of the severe shortage of medical resources caused by the blockade imposed on the Strip and the occupation’s prevention of life-saving materials used to treat the injured from entering.”

In addition to this emergency response point, the hospital continues to offer its core services to hundreds of injured and persons with disabilities through its three main departments:
Prosthetics – Medical Rehabilitation – Audiology and Balance,
as well as the CT scan unit, the only one currently operational in northern Gaza.

Held from 5 to 20 March 2025, the campaign successfully collected over 60,000 new clothes from 18 locations, including leisure centers such as malls, mosques, and private sector stores, across Qatar, making it one of the most successful campaigns of its kind. A major collection site was Place Vendôme, where a single store collected 1,750 clothing items valued at QAR 73,000.

Mohamed Al-Kuwari, Acting CEO of Education Above All Foundation, said: “The ‘Eid Gift’ campaign reflects our strong commitment to supporting vulnerable communities, not only through education but also by responding to their essential humanitarian needs—especially during occasions that embody solidarity and dignity. We are proud of this partnership with Qatar Red Crescent Society and Qatar Fund for Development, and of the Qatari community’s overwhelming engagement, which played a pivotal role in the campaign’s success. We will continue working with our partners to create lasting, positive impact in the lives of children and families in Gaza and Syria.”

Faisal Al Emadi, Secretary-General of QRCS, expressed his happiness with the fruitful cooperation with EAA Foundation on the ‘Eid Gift’ campaign, conducted for the second year consecutively. This year, there are more collection points designated to receive in-kind donations from the generous people of Qatar, and the scope of target beneficiaries has expanded to include Gaza and Syria. “Throughout the campaign, QRCS volunteers have been unsung heroes, carrying out all the necessary organizing and logistic tasks,” said Mr. Al Emadi. “Aid trucks have already been deployed towards Jordan, where part of the aid shipment will be transported into Syria. The rest of the shipment will be prepared and put on hold, until it becomes possible to enter them into Gaza through the border crossing. We hope this will happen very soon, so that the children and people of Gaza can benefit from these new clothing items and feel the joy of Eid Al-Fitr”.

Ms. Nouf Al-Kaabi, Deputy Director General of Development Projects Sector at Qatar Fund for Development expressed, “We are proud to support the ‘Eid Gift’ campaign, a meaningful initiative that embodies Qatar’s longstanding commitment to humanitarian assistance and international solidarity. Through our collaboration with the Education Above All Foundation and the Qatar Red Crescent Society, we are able to support and bring hope to children and families in Gaza and Syria, ensuring they experience the joy of the Eid season. This campaign reflects the strength of our community and our shared responsibility to uplift those in need in pursuit of a peaceful and prosperous future.”

The “Eid Gift” campaign directly aligns with The State of Qatar’s ongoing efforts to support the brother people of Gaza and Syria. This commitment, rooted in the nation’s dedication to humanitarian principles, translates into tangible assistance aimed at alleviating suffering and fostering resilience in these vulnerable communities. By providing essential resources like new clothing and school bags, the campaign directly addresses the immediate needs of families affected by conflict and hardship, contributing to Qatar’s broader efforts to ensure access to education, promote well-being, and build a foundation for a more stable and prosperous future in both Gaza and Syria.
