Director of the Palestine Hospital Muhammad Ramadhan expressed his appreciation for the aid, emphasizing its importance in helping medical teams care for patients.
“This support means a lot to us as we treat Palestinian survivors and refugees every day. Our hospital urgently needs medical supplies, and Muhammadiyah assistance allows us to provide better care for patients in critical condition. Thank you, Muhammadiyah,” depressed Muhammad on Thursday, February 27.
