Jihad, a young baby from Gaza, was diagnosed with a mass on his heart, suspected to be cancer. His condition was critical, and urgent medical intervention was needed. However, due to the ongoing blockade and the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure, the only viable option was to evacuate him for treatment outside of Gaza.

Relief Across Borders was made aware of Jihad's case after he had already been evacuated to Jordan, following a complicated situation. Although Jihad was meant to be accompanied by his mother, she was denied security clearance, leaving Jihad to travel with his grandmother, who also required medical treatment. This added another layer of difficulty to an already challenging situation.

Once in Jordan, Relief Across Borders stepped in to provide critical support. Our team delivered both physical and cash aid to Jihad and his grandmother to assist with their immediate needs, ensuring that they had the resources necessary to focus on their treatment and recovery without further stress.
