"Gaza 2024" Initiatives

The "We Have the Right to See"

 initiative aimed to address the lack of eye care facilities for children in Gaza during the ongoing conflict. The initiative set up a temporary eye examination station in Nuseirat, where specialists conducted eye exams for children in need. As a result, 34 children received prescription glasses to help improve their vision. In addition to the eye care services, hygiene kits were distributed to all participants, ensuring that they had access to essential items for personal care. This initiative provided critical support to children in a time of hardship, improving their well-being and quality of life.
