Anera’s healthcare center in Deir Al Balah was busier than ever, with 355 patients receiving medical care. The five active clinics included wound management, physiotherapy, dermatology, gynecology, and general surgery.

At our Khan Younis healthcare center, the medical team provided care to 355 patients across five clinics:

• General surgery: 51 cases
• Wound management: 72 cases (21 new, 51 follow-ups)
• Physiotherapy: 9 cases
• Dermatology: 165 cases
• Gynecology: 58 cases

In northern Gaza, the team distributed 1,600 hygiene kits supported by UNICEF, 2,000 warm clothes parcels supported by IRUSA, 700 women kits supported through Anera’s emergency fund, and 500 food parcels supported by Anera.

At our primary healthcare center in Deir Al Balah, we provided essential medical care through three key clinics, treating a total of 126 patients:

• Wound Management Clinic: 27 patients received treatment, including 12 new cases and 15 follow-up cases.
• Dermatology Clinic: 33 patients were treated for skin conditions exacerbated by poor sanitation and overcrowded living conditions.
• Internal Medicine & Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) Clinic: 66 patients sought treatment for chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension, which remain a serious concern in the post-war recovery phase.

And in Khan Younis, our primary healthcare center hosted wound management; ear, nose and throat; nutrition; internal medicine; noncommunicable disease; and deworming clinics, serving 338 patients.

For children, the trauma of war is especially profound. To support their emotional and psychological recovery, Anera launched a six-month psychosocial support (PSS) program at Al Jinan School in Khan Younis. Funded by Read Foundation, this initiative will provide structured activities and safe spaces for 7,200 children and 240 caregivers, helping them regain a sense of normalcy through play, expression and emotional healing.

Recovery is not just about rebuilding structures—it’s about restoring lives. At our Khan Younis health center, we treated 255 patients, with the general surgery clinic seeing an influx of 86 cases. The psychiatric clinic, though serving a small number of patients, played a vital role in addressing the psychological trauma so many are experiencing. For women and children suffering from burns and war-related injuries, our treatment unit provided much-needed care.

As families continue to struggle with food shortages, our team in Beit Lahia and Shuja’iya delivered 3,000 pastry meals—a small but meaningful gesture to bring comfort to those who have endured so much.

In Rafah and Khan Younis, thanks to UNICEF funding, the team delivered 4,900 jerrycans for clean water storage, 2,500 11-liter water bottles, 1,800 boxes of women’s pads (each serving two families), 800 boxes of soap (each supporting four families), and 300 tarps to provide much-needed shelter in Khan Younis.

Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, distributions continued with 1,000 warm clothing parcels (IRUSA), 10,000 cans of infant formula (MAUSA), 560 women’s kits (WeCare), and 500 food parcels (Anera’s emergency fund).

• Wound management: 42 cases (17 new, 25 follow-ups)
• ENT: 93 cases
• Nutrition: 14 cases
• Internal medicine: 68 cases
• Non-communicable diseases (NCD): 116 cases
• Deworming clinic: 5 children treated

The struggle to restore healthcare access continues, particularly in Khan Younis, where we treated 165 patients today. The wound management clinic remained busy with 52 cases, while orthopedic and physiotherapy services helped those recovering from fractures and other war-related injuries.

Sanitation remains a major issue for displaced families, so we distributed an additional 6,500 jerrycans, 1,700 boxes of women’s hygiene products, and 13,000 bars of soap in Khan Younis. In North Gaza, families rebuilding their lives received another 700 tarps, while children benefited from 15,000 cans of infant formula. Through IRUSA’s support, we also distributed 2,000 clothing parcels to families who lost everything.

Healthcare needs remain immense, particularly as families attempt to return to what’s left of their homes. Our Deir Al Balah health center saw 455 patients that day, with the wound management unit treating 88 people—40 of whom were new cases. Many are still recovering from injuries sustained in the war, and without proper care, the risk of complications remains high.

Skin infections and illnesses caused by overcrowding and poor living conditions are on the rise, with our dermatology clinic treating 166 cases in a single day. Chronic disease management is also a growing priority, as 126 people sought treatment for hypertension, diabetes, and other non-communicable diseases that have gone untreated due to the collapse of the healthcare system.

With so many people living in makeshift shelters or damaged homes, we distributed 5,500 jerrycans, 1,200 boxes of women’s hygiene products, and 11,000 bars of soap in Khan Younis. In North Gaza, where families are attempting to return despite the destruction, we provided 700 tarps for temporary shelter, 400 hygiene kits, and 20,000 cans of infant milk to ensure young children receive proper nourishment.
