Medical Crutches Program

Medical Crutches Program
Providing medical crutches for people with disabilities and war-related injuries in Gaza to improve mobility, independence, and daily living.
Mobility is essential for independence, dignity, and access to everyday life. In Gaza, thousands of people are living with amputations, complex fractures, spinal cord injuries, and permanent physical disabilities caused by the ongoing conflict, creating an urgent need for medical crutches and other mobility assistive devices.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Gaza currently requires more than 32,800 mobility assistive devices, while over 20,000 essential mobility aids remain unavailable. This shortage continues to limit access to healthcare, education, employment, and rehabilitation services for people with disabilities.

To address this growing humanitarian need, Jusoor Al-Amal (Bridges of Hope) Association launched the Medical Crutches Support Program. The program provides high-quality medical crutches for people with mobility impairments, helping them regain safe movement, improve independence, and continue their rehabilitation journey.

Each beneficiary receives an individual assessment to determine the most appropriate mobility aid, followed by guidance on proper use and ongoing support to maximize long-term benefit. The program prioritizes amputees, people recovering from orthopedic injuries, children with physical disabilities, older adults, and vulnerable low-income families.

Access to appropriate mobility aids not only improves physical movement but also enables people to return to education, healthcare, employment, and active participation within their communities.

You can support this project with any donation starting from just $1, helping provide medical crutches and restore mobility for people with disabilities across Gaza.
