First DWW medical team has arrived to Gaza. 4 doctors from DWW-Turkey arrived Israel 2 days ago. They first visited a hospital in Hebron in the West Bank.The hospital has recently sent an appeal to DWW to help them to rehabilitate the hospital. After intense negotiations with Israeli authorities finally they agreed to give safe passage to DWW team to go to Gaza. They visited Rafah and Khan Yonis refugee camps and hospitals in Gaza today. DWW-Turkey has sent funds with them and they bought medicine and other medical materials locally. They are going to assess the situation and extend of damage and urgent need. In the meantime we are talking with other NGOs to set up a medical center to serve people who fled from south Lebanon after Israeli bombing starts. There are around 200,000 people currently left their homes. We may need volunteer medical personnel for these operations. We will inform you about our projects after our team's return. We  need financial support for operations in Palestine and Lebanon. Please donate generously for this noble cause.
