ACTNews, GAZA - Aksi Cepat Tanggap continues its health programs for the
people of Gaza that has been running smoothly thanks to the support of the
Indonesian people through Indonesia Dermawan and Aksi Cepat Tanggap.
Said Mukaffiy
from the Global Humanity Response - ACT stated that health programs are among
the most urgently needed humanitarian programs by the Gazans during the
pandemic. To avoid transmission, many health clinics have been closed. Gaza doesn’t
have adequate facilities to deal with large number of Covid-19 cases.
"Our clinic
continues to run, but sometimes they had to visit the patients directly in
their houses to comply with the health protocols. This October our clinic and
ambulance have continued running,” added Said.
In October, over
3,100 patients visited the Indonesian Clinic. They came for the treatment of
their gunshot wounds, infectious wounds, head trauma, gastritis, influenza, renal
diseases, and diabetes.
Throughout October,
289 people have benefitted from the Indonesian Ambulance, majority of whom are
patients over 60 years old. The ambulance carried them to and from the
Indonesian Clinic and other health facilities. It also carried Palestinians
that are going from health facilities to the Erez crossing. We hope that our
kindness can continue supporting their struggle,” concluded Said. []
