A number of Palestinian children, including cancer patients, are currently receiving medical treatment funded by Bahrain’s Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF).
The RHF continues to work in phases, in co-operation with King Hussein Cancer Centre in Jordan and the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation, to support Palestinian children affected by the conflict.
RHF acting secretary general Ibrahim Al Doseri recently visited the centre in Jordan as part of the foundation’s ongoing efforts to monitor the implementation of an agreement for the treatment of cancer patients and injured individuals, as well as the provision of prosthetic limbs for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
During the visit, Mr Al Doseri reviewed the specialised treatment services and healthcare programmes offered by the centre.
He also met a number of children currently receiving treatment, reaffirming the foundation’s commitment to continuing the implementation of the agreement and ensuring that beneficiaries receive the necessary healthcare in accordance with the highest medical standards.
“The first phase of the agreement has been successfully completed, with treatment provided to five children with cancer from the Gaza Strip,” said Mr Aldoseri.
“Work has now commenced on the second phase, which aims to provide treatment for an additional five children.”
He emphasised that this humanitarian initiative will continue until the allocated budget for the treatment of children has been fully utilised.
The Bahraini official expressed his sincere appreciation to the centre and the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation for their support. He also praised the medical and administrative teams for their commitment to providing the highest standards of treatment and care for children.
This initiative forms part of the humanitarian efforts undertaken by Bahrain to support the brotherly Palestinian people and provide relief and medical assistance to the most vulnerable groups, particularly children. It reaffirms Bahrain’s long-standing approach to supporting humanitarian causes and promoting the values of solidarity, compassion, and co-operation.
RHF donated $3 million in 2024 for construction of a new health centre in Jalazone refugee camp in the West Bank. The amount was handed over to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
The UN agency said at the time the health centre will serve around 15,000 Palestine refugee patients.
In the same year, seven ambulances were donated to help war-hit Palestinians being treated at the Jordanian Field Hospital in Gaza. The seven fully equipped ambulances included two mobile clinics donated by Kaaf Humanitarian, charity wing of Al Eslah Society in Bahrain.
In addition, RHF has funded several welfare projects such as a health centre, library and a centre for artificial limbs, in co-operation with relevant bodies, including UN agencies, assisting thousands of Palestinians.
