Palestinian Man Donates Recovery Room to Haifa Hospital


(TPS-Ynet News) Ilana Messika - A senior Palestinian official who underwent cancer treatment at Rambam Hospital in Haifa has donated tens of thousands of shekels to support improved treatment of childhood cancers and Israeli-Palestinian medical cooperation. "Palestinian, Israeli, Syrian and children from other countries receive treatment in the hospital for a variety of serious illnesses and need all the help they can get. I decided to contribute as much as I could, both as a humanitarian act and as a symbol of solidarity," said M., who would not reveal his identity. M. underwrote the establishment of a children's recovery room to provide a supportive environment for children before and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. Some 1,200 Palestinian children and adults from the PA and Gaza visit the hospital every year for cancer treatment.
