To date, we have provided at least 384 surgeries and 1,243 consultations. → We distributed fresh food parcels to 3,450 families, in partnership with Taawon between January and February, and are currently distributing more food parcels in partnership with Agriculture for Development (PARC). → We've launched six mobile community centers offering mental health and psychosocial support to children and families in Gaza and the West Bank.
