Wheelchair Support Program for People with Disabilities in Gaza

Wheelchair Support Program for People with Disabilities in Gaza
Restoring Mobility, Restoring Dignity

Thousands of people with disabilities in Gaza face immense challenges due to war-related injuries, damaged infrastructure, and the severe shortage of mobility aids.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Gaza currently requires more than 32,000 mobility assistive devices, while over 20,000 essential mobility aids, including wheelchairs, remain unavailable. Restrictions on medical supplies continue to delay the delivery of wheelchairs and rehabilitation equipment, leaving many children, adults, and elderly people unable to access healthcare, education, or even leave their homes.

In response to this urgent humanitarian need, Jusoor Al-Amal (Bridges of Hope) Association has launched the Wheelchair Support Program for People with Disabilities in Gaza. The first phase aims to provide 50 wheelchairs to the most vulnerable beneficiaries, restoring mobility, independence, and dignity.

Our Vision

A wheelchair is more than a mobility device. It is a gateway to education, healthcare, employment, and social participation. Through this program, we seek to empower people with disabilities and improve their quality of life while supporting their long-term rehabilitation.

Project Objectives

The program aims to provide suitable wheelchairs for people with mobility disabilities, improve their independence, facilitate access to healthcare and education, reduce health complications caused by immobility, and ease the financial burden on vulnerable families.

Target Beneficiaries

Priority is given to children with disabilities, amputees, people with spinal cord injuries, individuals with permanent war-related disabilities, elderly people with limited mobility, and low-income families unable to afford mobility aids.

Implementation

Each beneficiary undergoes a medical and social assessment to ensure the wheelchair matches their specific needs. The program also includes user guidance, family orientation, and follow-up to maximize long-term benefit.

Expected Impact

Providing a wheelchair enables beneficiaries to regain mobility, continue their education, reach healthcare services, participate in community life, and improve their physical and psychological well-being.
