Field Hospital Gaza: A New Facility Serving Gazans and Saving Lives
Team Humanity, in partnership with organizations like SWAN London and PalMed France, are in the final stages of preparation before opening a new field hospital in the Gaza Strip: the Field Hospital Gaza. Located in the center-south, and equipped to serve displaced Gazans in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah, this project represents a major step in Team Humanity’s efforts on the ground.
“Everybody needs everything,” says founder Salam Aldeen. “Our food and aid distributions continue, but we have to do even more to help people.” With strength in numbers, and now joined by the medical professionals of PalMed France, Team Humanity and SWAN are putting the finishing touches on a new building that will offer shelter, electricity, and urgently needed health care equipment in a region that has been suffering for the lack of it for far too long.

”Gaza’s health system is on the brink of collapse. Out of 36 hospitals, only 12 are even partially functional. Despite this, the dedicated medical staff continue to work tirelessly, treating patients with severely limited access to supplies and equipment. In response to this crisis, SWAN, led by our international coordinator Salam Aldeen and supported by WHO and healthcare professionals in Gaza, has secured premises in Khan Younis to establish a much-needed field hospital,” say our partners at SWAN.
“What we need now is more support. This is a massive undertaking at a critical time, and we’re only able to do any of it because of the incredible people around the world who believe in our mission,” Salam Aldeen says. After nine months of non-stop assault on the people of Gaza and the medical infrastructure specifically, the importance of this new facility cannot be understated.
