Urgent action: medical emergency in Palestinian hospitals, immediate assistance needed to purchase basic medical supplies

HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES ARE RUNNING OUT OF BASIC MEDICAL SUPPLIES such as syringes and gauze pads, and soon will be unable to treat patients. A medical emergency state has been declared.

Working with other organizations, the Physicians for Human Rights have received a list of immediate supplies needed from various hospitals in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in order to continue to provide medical treatment. The cost for these supplies is $100,000 and is needed in a most immediate and urgent manner.

I would appreciate if you could circulate this request for IMMEDIATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. IF PALESTINIAN HOSPITALS WILL NOT RECEIVE THESE SUPPLIES WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THEY WILL BE UNABLE TO TREAT THEIR PATIENTS!
