The initiative has been launched under the patronage of wife of Sharjah Ruler Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi. The Sharjah Fund signed agreements with the London-based Medical Aid for Palestinians and Al Insan Foundation in Gaza to improve the health and well-being of Palestinian children under five years old, through preventive and curative programmes.

The humanitarian health drive will serve 8,000 children for nine months and will be carried out in partnership with the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees in the Near East) and Palestinian health ministry, the key health services providers in Gaza strip.

The campaign aims at relieving the suffering among the children in Palestine, who undergo agony and hardships caused by Israeli crimes and blockade.
