The completed array of solar panels on the rooftop of Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza, which was funded by donations from Singaporeans.SINGAPORE - The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza has penned a letter of thanks to Singaporeans who donated to a project that saw solar panels outfitted at the facility, restoring power to the only paediatrics hospital in the north of the besieged enclave.
“It has a significant impact on restoring the hospital and ensuring the return of services to Palestinians,” he wrote in Arabic, with the letter bearing the letterhead of the Palestinian health ministry, as well as its official stamp. He said: “The lack of electricity poses a serious threat to patient care, especially in critical areas like the intensive care unit and the neonatal unit.”An AFP report on March 19 said the solar panels were the only thing that kept incubators running in the hospital, with patients “dying on the operation table simply because life-saving machinery is switched off”.
