We Purchased Urgent Cancer Drugs for Children in Gaza

This week, we purchased thousands of dollars worth of tablets of 6MP Mercaptopurine, a chemotherapy drug that had run out in Gaza, and is essential for the treatment of children there with cancer. This humanitarian effort for Gaza's children with cancer comes at a time when we are close to opening Dr. Musa and Suhaila Nasir Pediatric Cancer Department there, the first and only public department where children with cancer will get the treatment and care that they need without having to travel outside for care. This department will be the sister to the Huda al Masir Pediatric Cancer Department that we opened in April 2013 in Beit Jala Hospital and serves the children with cancer in the West Bank.
