Social Development Ministry Assists Gaza Family
Under the Follow-Up of H.E. Minister of Social Development Dr. Samah Hamad: Humanitarian Intervention for a Family from Gaza, Securing Housing and Financial Assistance The Ministry of Social Development followed up on a humanitarian case involving a family from the Gaza Strip who had been residing in a hospital in the city of Jerusalem for medical treatment. After the completion of the treatment period, the family—consisting of five members—was left without a place to stay. Accordingly, the Ministry took the necessary measures to address the situation. The family was transferred to the city of Ramallah, where suitable housing was secured through the rental of an apartment, ensuring temporary stability for the family. In addition, a monthly financial allowance was provided, covering the apartment rent and basic food needs, as part of the Ministry’s role in responding to urgent humanitarian cases. This intervention comes within the framework of the Ministry of Social Development’s commitment to fulfilling its social and humanitarian responsibilities and supporting affected families, particularly in light of the difficult economic conditions and financial constraints facing the Palestinian Authority.
