“Honouring Our Mothers”

“Honouring Our Mothers” campaign for Palestine and Syria refugees

As part of Muslim Charity’s “Honouring our Mothers” campaign, the lives of babies born to Palestinian and Syrian refugees in the Ain El-Hilweh refugee camp in Lebanon are being saved through the handing over of an infant incubator to the Al-Nida hospital located in the camp near the city of Saida, Lebanon.

“Many Palestinian families fleeing the violence, starvation and threat to their lives are from the Yarmouk Camp in Damascus, Syria. Most of these families have now shifted to the Ain El-Hilweh refugee camp in Lebanon and many women are pregnant. We have an increase in cases of premature births and consequently an increased number of infant death. Similarly, we are struggling with the provision of medicines and providing services to these families because they cannot pay and our own resources are exhausted. Our single incubator was not enough to help in saving the lives of infants in need of assistance and so I am thankful to the donors of Muslim Charity for their generosity and remembering us in these difficult times.” Hospital Director, Al-Nida Hospital, Lebanon.
