Egyptian paramedics and first responders are receiving specialised training for treatment of pregnant mothers, newborn babies and wounded children evacuated from Gaza, through a Community Jameel-supported Save the Children initiative.
George Richards, director of Community Jameel, says, "Egyptian paramedics, ambulance workers and other first responders are under immense strain in meeting the critical needs of pregnant mothers and newborn babies, including preterm babies, who have been evacuated through the Rafah crossing to Egypt on urgent medical grounds. With Community Jameel’s funding, Save the Children is bringing its world-leading expertise on child safeguarding and psychological wellbeing to support Egyptian colleagues and to ensure that Palestinian mothers and children receive the best care possible."
