Gaza’s emergency medicine system is nearing collapse under the weight of genocide, leaving millions without reliable life-saving care.

In partnership with the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Glia launched the Emergency Medicine Physician Support Program to strengthen and sustain Gaza’s EM workforce. The initiative provides essential tools, supports overextended physicians, and invests in local education and capacity building.

Through the Gaza EM Resource Hub, physicians create and share training tailored to the realities of conflict and low-resource settings to shift from aid dependency toward long-term self-sufficiency.

Essential medical devices breakdown and degrade as part of the brutal blockade against Palestinians, but they always find a way.

Dr. Tarek Loubani discusses this pressing issue using Nasser Hospital's Emergency Ultrasound as an example of how important repair is, and what Glia does to make it possible through engineering expertise, 3D printing, and commitment..

We’re proud to introduce a new branch of Glia: The Glia Institute of Collective Care. 🧠🌍

Rooted in our belief that care is not charity, but solidarity and collective responsibility, the Institute creates space for dialogue, reflection, and shared learning — because understanding one another is part of how we care for one another.

We’re launching with Online Reflection Circles on Zoom: guided conversations, where we think together across lived experience, following a facilitated dialogue structure designed to encourage a space to ask questions, reflection and that is grounded in the knowledge of leaders in their respective fields - with each circle centering a different theme.

Our first two gatherings:

We're so proud to share this clip featuring our Palestinian-made 3D external fixator – a powerful example of technological emancipation under blockade.

This project builds on groundbreaking work done by Imperial College London's Centre for Injury Studies, and exists because of Palestinian ingenuity and solidarity. We express deep gratitude to everyone who brought this project to life.

At least 88% of Gaza’s water infrastructure has been destroyed by the Israeli army over the past two years, forcing roughly half of the population to survive on less than 1.6 gallons of water per day. That is less than 6 liters of water for all daily needs including for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene. (The average North American toilet uses the exact same amount, 1.6 gallons per flush!) 

In partnership with A Ripple and Humanity Above All, we’re raising awareness we’re drilling a well and securing a distribution point with cisterns that can hold and deliver water. In total, $16,000 USD will make this well operational, which is more sustainable and lasting than other forms of water aid, such as water trucks.

Giving Tuesday | Stand With Gaza’s Medical Community

Today, we’re asking you to take action.

For over 12 years, Glia has practiced medical solidarity — working hand-in-hand with Palestinian physicians and engineers to build the lifesaving tools Gaza is systematically denied.

We support Palestinian-led, made-in-Gaza innovation, ensuring healthcare workers can control, repair, and own the technology they rely on.

We send physicians to join frontline response teams, sharing expertise and providing critical care when hospitals are overwhelmed.

And we advocate for health & freedom — for an end to genocide, for care without siege, and for Palestinian sovereignty over their medical knowledge.

This Giving Tuesday:
✔️ Stand with frontline physicians
✔️ Protect medical knowledge
✔️ Invest in Gaza’s future

Make a one-time gift or become a monthly supporter — every contribution strengthens long-term medical resilience in Gaza.
