Safeguarding Childbirth in Gaza

April 2011: At least 19 Palestinians have died in Gaza over the last week, in the deadliest series of Israeli attacks since the end of the assault on Gaza two years ago. Due to this increased level of violence in the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health declared a state of emergency, concerned that the situation may deteriorate further.




In response, MAP this week released 52 primary trauma kits, which contain essential medical equipment for life saving treatment. The kits will be distributed to support health professionals who have been trained in primary trauma care over the last year. In this dangerous environment, MAP's safe childbirth programme is more important than ever.
