Project Name: Lifeline Pharmacy – صيدلية خط الحياة
Project Overview
We are a dedicated group of volunteer pharmacists providing essential medicine for patients who are living in extreme living conditions in Gaza. Our main target is to supply medicine that will reduce mortality rates during the upcoming winter months, and to work in collaboration with mutual aid groups, organisations, medical suppliers, and volunteer teams to ensure priority groups with life threatening conditions diabetes are able to acquire the medications they need to survive.
The spikes in prices of medications; which is mainly due to shortages of supply; in Gaza Strip has forced many pharmacies to shut down their operations due to their inability to keep a stock of medicine available for the population. We are hopefully that our project team efforts with your support will work towards changing this reality, and despite the shortages, we will work to acquire the medications needed for our people.
Our mission
To offer heavily subsidised medications to displaced Palestinian in Gaza Strip, and ensure priority groups are able to access their required medication to survive the winter.
In addition, we will monitor our work and continue fundraising towards achieving our main goal, which is to be able to offer the medications for FREE!
Project Goals
· Offer heavily subsidised Medications: Supply essential medications at extremely low-costs or at no cost to patients who are unable to afford it
· Promote Health and Well-being: Enhance the overall health and well-being of the vulnerable population in the area.

Reach
Within the school itself, lives more than 5,000 displaced families with an average household of 4. Another school within close proximity houses more than 7,000 displaced families. The immediate vicinity of the two schools has become home to a large tent camp population that is within the 100,000+ families range.
Impact Our Lineline Pharmacy initiative has the potential to make a significant impact on the health and lives of the people in Gaza by:
· Reducing maternal and infant mortality rates.
· Reducing elderly and long-term conditions mortality rates.
· Improving access to medicine at extremely low rates
· Ensuring timely access to medication and medical intervention for children.
· Offering ongoing health education and support.
Long-term goal To continue and expand our efforts and to work with medical organisations, pharmacies and networks to cover the needs of the population across Gaza Strip. We hope our initiative can be replicated to cover more areas in Gaza Strip, and contribute to rebuilding the medical infrastructure in Gaza.
