Who
We Are
The
Palestine Children's Relief Fund is a registered
non-political, non-profit, tax-exempt organization that
was established in 1991 by concerned people in the U.S.
to address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing
Palestinian youths in the Middle East. It has since
expanded to help suffering children from other Middle
Eastern nations, based only on their medical needs. The
P.C.R.F. helps to locate cost-free medical care for
children from the Middle East who are unable to get the
necessary and specialized treatment in their homeland.
The
main objective of the P.C.R.F. is to locate in the U.S.
free medical care for children who cannot be adequately
treated in the Middle East. The P.C.R.F. is the main
organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab
children to the U.S. and Europe for free care that is
not available to them there. Since 1991 over 450
children have been or currently are being treated
outside of the Middle East through the P.C.R.F.
The
P.C.R.F. also helps to improve the quality of medical
care in the Middle East by sending medical equipment and
supplies to war-torn Lebanon and the West Bank and Gaza
Strip. The P.C.R.F. has also trained Palestinian
surgeons so they can treat patients there and has sent
American medical personnel to the region to treat
difficult cases and train medical personnel in country.
The
PCRF currently has several injured or sick children in
the U.S. being treated for free. We are also working to
locate free medical care for many more injured and sick
children from Palestine, Lebanon and other parts of the
Middle East. We rely on the kindness of many volunteers
throughout the U.S. who act as host families, volunteers
and donors, enabling us to continue our humanitarian
relief work.
