Medical mission

Medical and surgical supplies covid 19 supplies : pama provides covid-19 supplies in the form of personal protective equipment, hand sanitizers and high flow oxygen machines to hospitals in palestine in response to the covid-l9 pandemic.

Over 50% of the population in gaza are children who live in poverty with minimal access to food and shelter. Violence and loss surround them, and their families have no resources to address their mental distress. Through this program, pama provides children mental health intervention at the al-ahli arab hospital in gaza. The experienced team of doctors and therapists at al-ahli arab hospital asses the needs of the children and give the children and their families the tools to cope with the challenges they face. In addition to mental health care, beneficiaries of this program receive care packages of necessities from our pama youth program that supports pama's psychosocial rehab program.
