In a significant humanitarian effort, Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries (Julfar) has provided an essential medical contribution to hospitals in Gaza. This initiative, part of the ‘Al-Faris Al-Shahim 3’ operation, was conducted in collaboration with the Saqr Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Foundation for Charity and Humanitarian Works. The contribution underscores the ongoing humanitarian commitment of the United Arab Emirates to support the Palestinian people in their time of need.
The medical support arrives amidst a severe deterioration in Gaza’s healthcare system, where hospitals face acute shortages of medicines and medical supplies due to an escalating humanitarian crisis. The total weight of the shipment from Julfar amounts to 12 tons of various medicines, meticulously selected to address the basic needs of healthcare facilities in the region.
This significant contribution includes medications for gastrointestinal issues, antibiotics to treat bacterial and fungal infections, including skin infections, as well as analgesics and antipyretics available in various forms such as tablets, drops, and injections. Furthermore, the shipment encompasses antihistamines to alleviate symptoms of seasonal and skin allergies, alongside topical ointments designed for treating burns and wounds and aiding in skin cell regeneration.
Julfar’s initiative reflects the enduring commitment of the UAE to support the healthcare sector in Gaza through partnerships with international organizations and institutions. This aligns with recent donations made by the UAE to the World Health Organization in a bid to enhance its capabilities in addressing urgent medical needs. Through these measures, the UAE reaffirms its steadfast support for the Palestinian people amidst the challenging circumstances they face, continuing its long-standing humanitarian approach to providing assistance to those affected worldwide.
The shipment from Julfar, involving critical medicines for gastrointestinal problems, antibiotics for bacterial infections, and pain relievers, showcases the urgent need to support Gaza’s medical infrastructure. As Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries steps forward with this essential aid, it highlights the collective responsibility to ensure that those in most need receive proper medical care and support.
