The Palestine Children's Relief Fund is a
registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization
that was established in 1991 by concerned people in the U.S.
to address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian
youths in the Middle East. It has since expanded to help
suffering
children from other Middle Eastern nations, based only on
their medical needs. The P.C.R.F. helps to locate free medical
care for children from the Middle East who are unable to get
the necessary and specialized treatment in their homeland.
The main objective of the P.C.R.F. is to identify and treat
every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery
not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run
volunteer medical missions to the Middle East in adult and
pediatric cardiac surgery, pediatric cardiology, plastic and
reconstructive surgery, maxillofacial surgery, pediatric urology,
ophthalmology, vascular surgery, pediatric orthopedic surgery,
occupational therapy, and other specialties. We also locate
abroad free medical care for children who cannot be adequately
treated in the Middle East. The P.C.R.F. is the main organization
regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North
America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is
not available to them there. Since 1991 over 800 children
have been or currently are being treated outside of the Middle
East through the P.C.R.F.
The P.C.R.F. also helps to improve the quality of medical
care in the Middle East by sending medical equipment and supplies
to the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The P.C.R.F. has also trained
Palestinian surgeons so they can treat patients there and
has sent American medical personnel to the region to treat
difficult cases and train medical personnel in country.
The P.C.R.F. currently has several injured or sick Arab children
in the U.S., the Middle East or Europe being treated for free.
We are also working to locate free medical care for many more
injured and sick children from Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq.
We rely on the kindness of many volunteers throughout the
U.S. who act as host families, volunteers and donors, enabling
us to continue our humanitarian relief work.
