We are a frontline, medical, humanitarian NGO. Born of the NHS, we work towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when disaster strikes.

UK-Med has received 2⃣4⃣ pallets of vital medical supplies for our facilities in #Gaza — the first delivery since early 2025.

This includes items such as gauze, pain relief and antibiotics, delivered with support from the @FCDOGovUK.

Needs remain acute, stay with #Gaza.

[UK-Med @UKMed]

How difficult is it to operate a field hospital in Gaza❓

Hear from Jay giving some insight into the situation on the ground.

Our main priority is ensuring our staff and patients have the essentials they need in this deeply challenging environment.

[UK-Med @UKMed]

During conflict, timing can make the difference between life and death.

That’s why expert training is essential to provide quality care as quickly as possible.

Since March 2022, UK-Med has trained over 25,000 civilians and healthcare workers in Ukraine to help save lives. ❤️‍🩹

[UK-Med @UKMed]

📢 To date, the Gaza Hospital Appeal has raised funds to provide over 2,000 consultations to the people in Gaza.

Your support is a beacon of hope to the UK-Med staff and patients, who are against the odds. 🤝

Each donation helps save lives. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you.

Mohammad, a fisherman from Rafah, sustained a gunshot wound whilst trying to collect aid from a distribution point and was sent to UK-Med’s surgical team.

This commitment to providing medical care for those caught up in the conflict remains steadfast — and continues daily.

English teacher, Lina, was at a café when all of a sudden she felt a burning sensation all over her body. She couldn’t open her eyes.

Lina’s heartbreaking story is like so many others in Gaza today, trying to survive against the odds.

KEEP THE HOSPITALS OPEN

In Gaza our staff continued to treat over 1000 patients each day in our two field hospitals.

This morning (02 June 2025) Dr Iain Lennon, an Emergency Consultant volunteering for UK-Med, spoke to the @bbcradio4 #Today programme.

UK-Med runs two of the last remaining field hospitals in Gaza.

We also support the last functioning local hospital in southern Gaza, Nasser Medical Complex.

We’ve been there since the beginning.

The situation is desperate.

Keep the hospitals open.

[UK-Med @UKMed]

🔴 We need your help. And we need it now. 🔴

Keep the last hospitals in Gaza open.

People are being injured in intensifying airstrikes. Dying from treatable illnesses. Everyone is hungry.

Most hospitals have been destroyed.

Honoured to present certificates to medical professionals in 🇲🇰 who completed training by @UKMed for the rehabilitation of patients injured in the tragic #Kochani fire.

Grateful to the 🇬🇧 Medical Team and all participants. I hope this British expertise will support the recovery of those with severe burns.

The 🇬🇧 stands with 🇲🇰 — even in the most difficult times.

The healthcare system in Gaza is near collapse. Aid supplies must be allowed in, medical workers protected, and the sick and wounded allowed to temporarily leave Gaza for treatment.

The UK is bolstering medical support for Palestinians through @UKMed, @UNOCHA and @WHOEgypt.

Proud of their successful long term project at Turkish hospital, in Saida, to provide specialised burns and trauma center.

[UK-Med @UKMed]
