The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Nurit Peled-Elhanan and Yoav Pesachovitz have visited the Gazan casualties at Al-Mukased hospital in east Jerusalem .There are burned children that have lost all their family members, horrible human stories, sheer agony! What they need most is cash money for everyday expenses. We have tried to arrrange an urgent move of collecting some cash money to help a little those families who are destitute. And on Tuesday Nurit and Yoav went over there again with money envelops... There are no words to describe the warm welcome at Al-Mukased hospital for them. The funds collected until then were transferred to the hospital administration to take care of an orderly and fair distribution according to needs of each and every family. Hereby moves the responsibility for collecting and distributing the money to the hospital management and donors are asked to stop transferring money to the private account of Nurit and Rami. All the money collected so far will be transferred to the special fund established for this purpose. We are excited and grateful for the generous support and response so far. Any donation is a blessing! Al-Mukased hospital has set a special fund for the wounded patients from Gaza so we can all donate directly to their bank account. We were there this afternoon and learned it is a charity hospital which has no support from any authority. The hospital does not charge the patients or their relatives and supports them financially and gives them up to 10,000 Shekels when they leave back to Gaza. It was a special experience to be received so warmly by the director Dr. Rafiq Husseini – who works there without any salary, by Dr. Samia El-Kurd, PR director and by the chief nurse. Their urgent need is medications for the wounded and facilities for them and their relatives who must stay within the confines of the hospital by Israeli orders. I have a full list of the things they need and they promised to provide invoices with full accounts regarding anything they will buy with our donations. We shall transfer the money we have already received from you but now you can transfer your donations directly to this bank account: Makassed Islamic Charitable Society Mercantile Discount Bank – 17 Jerusalem- Salah Eddin St. No. 638 Account number: 400335 IBAN: IL890176380000001400330 Swift Code: BARDILIT XXX People who want to contact the hospital, visit or contribute in any way except donation are invited to contact Dr. Samia El-Kurd: samiaelkurd@yahoo.com +972-542699735 Thanks Links to the latest articles in this section Israelis support Russian opposition to the Ukraine War All to Burin this Friday!
