Muslim Charity contributes towards treatment of Palestinian refugees

Nottinghamshire-based non-governmental organisation, Muslim Charity, has tied up with United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to provide over 630 diabetic Palestinian patients living in Gaza with insulin that will last for two months.

The charity has donated $75000 for the insulin supplies which will treat those suffering from type 1 diabetes. It is said that over 52,000 Palestine refugees are dependent on the UNRWA scheme every year and are at a huge risk of getting life-threatening issues if they do not receive their treatment.

Bakhtyar Pirzada, the Vice-Chairman of Muslim Charity, said, ““Type 1 diabetes is a serious and lifelong condition for which there is no known cure. Managing type 1 diabetes is very challenging as it impacts every aspect of a person’s life, and if the condition is not managed well, it leads to serious complications and threatens life. This becomes even more difficult and challenging when it is a child who suffers from the condition, and the trauma and burden upon refugees in this situation is unimaginable. The work of UNRWA in this context is very significant and we are delighted to be a partner in this project of providing insulin analogues for 630 patients.”

Thomas White, Director of UNRWA Affairs in Gaza, has thanked the charity for supporting UNRWA in providing these essential life-saving supplies to people who are vulnerable and highly dependent on the organisation for insulin treatments.
