The Qatari Red Crescent has allocated US $400,000 to support the medical sector in Al Quds Al Sharif, including US $250,000 to provide emergency support to the Palestinian Red Crescent and emergency services for the Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem in order to provide medicines and medical consumables to meet the needs of the emergency department and surgeries.
This comes in light of the escalation of events and the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the holy city and the intensification of confrontations between the residents of the city and the Israeli occupation forces, in an alarming manner.
The Qatari Red Crescent said in a statement that it is following with deep concern the repercussions of this crisis and the difficult humanitarian situation in Jerusalem and the occupied Palestinian territories. It said that since the outbreak of these unfortunate events, it began to communicate with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and the Makassed Islamic Charitable Society Hospital in Jerusalem with a view to preparing a quick assessment of needs, in order to provide the necessary assistance as soon as possible to support the ability of these institutions to respond to the consequences of the crisis.
