Palestine Urgent Appeal
Thousands of Palestinians have been injured and hundreds killed from raids and airstrikes in the last days of Ramadan. IDRF is there, monitoring and responding to the escalating tragedy in Palestine.
The Situation in East Jerusalem
The Palestinian Red Crescent opened a field hospital to treat the wounded of Al-Aqsa. Al-Makassed Hospital’s emergency department reported admitting 83 patients with rubber bullet injuries. 25 of these patients were seriously and severely injured with bullet wounds in the head and upper body, some with loss of sight.
The Situation in Gaza
In Gaza, at least 250 Palestinians, including 66 children, have been killed and thousands of others wounded, and left homeless, as a result from airstrikes.
More than 1044 residential houses, 5 towers, 36 libraries, 21 medical clinics, masjids, factories and stores have been completely destroyed, and more than 7000 residential department stores have been partially damaged. The estimated overall cost of destruction exceeds $250 million.
