Gaza: End The Blockade - Let The Aid In
24 December 2009
"Doctors are doing a fantastic job, but they are having to improvise in circumstances that are almost impossible. The only way for the situation to get better is to lift the siege, otherwise there's no hope."
Dr John Beavis, Primary Trauma Care training in Gaza
As Israel restricts access to Gaza from the land, the sea and the air, the facts speak for themselves. With less goods getting into Gaza due to the blockade, the people of Gaza remain unable to rebuild their lives following the devastating assault a year ago.
Despite the blockade, MAP continues to deliver life-saving medicine and equipment to the hospitals and provide long-term training programmes for medical staff.

The people of Gaza are restricted to a life without access to necessary healthcare, food and adequate shelter. Over 80% of the population are dependent on food aid and 60% do not have access to clean drinking water. Each day, patients are refused and delayed access to treatment outside of Gaza and spare parts, equipment and zero stock drugs are subject to severe delays into Gaza which restricts the people of much-needed healthcare. The continued blockade is bringing out the deterioration of lives and health of the people living in Gaza.
We will not stop the delivery of aid to the people most vulnerable and in need in Gaza. With your help we can give the people of Gaza a lifeline.
