Turkish Red Crescent allocates 3.2M TL for Palestinian patient care
The President of the Turkish Red Crescent, Fadma Merytich Yilmaz, allocated approximately 3.2 million Turkish Liras (around $66.5 thousand) to support the treatment of Palestinian patients unable to afford healthcare costs at the Palestinian Red Crescent Hospital in Cairo. This is part of a three-month program aimed at enabling patients to access the necessary medical care and restore their health. This initiative was announced during her visit to Palestinian patients brought from Gaza who are receiving treatment in Egypt. She met with them and with officials from the Egyptian Red Crescent, reaffirming ongoing efforts to support Palestinians and provide healthcare assistance, which has exceeded a total value of 85 million Turkish Liras since early November 2023. The aid includes medical equipment, support teams, and field hospitals. This initiative comes amidst the deterioration of Gaza's healthcare sector due to the Israeli aggression, which has resulted in over 73,000 deaths and significant destruction of health infrastructure, with most hospitals partially or fully shut down. Additionally, around 15,600 patients are expected to need treatment outside Gaza by 2026.
