In the chaos of war in Gaza, healthcare is sorely needed, not just for those wounded by the fighting. Without clean water or good nutrition, wounds frequently become infected, skin conditions are rife, and usually manageable conditions like heart disease and diabetes become life-threatening.
Among the aid organisations trying to help is Project Rozana, an Australian initiative that promotes cooperation between Palestinians and Israelis through healthcare. With the American Near East Refugee Agency (ANERA), Project Rozana has established a mobile tent clinic, providing everything from surgery to dermatology, paediatrics and gynaecology to the area’s displaced residents.
Australian-born Israeli Ronit Zimmer, CEO of Project Rozana, said the organisation works with local partners to provide care on the ground. “Health is a human right,” she told The Jewish Independent.
