Almost 11 million children under the age of five die each year from largely preventable causes. It is estimated that by 2020, developing countries will suffer from severe shortages of medical assistance and staff. Life is aware of the present and looming threats to human health and safety. We work around the clock to actively distribute medicine, medical supplies, and medical equipment, as well as build and renovate clinics and hospitals. Recently, three new medical clinics were constructed to provide affordable health services to the communities of Ramadi, Ishaki and Diyalah in Iraq. Two state-of-the-art medical facilities have also been built in the Palestinian cities of Jaba and Jabalia. Life continues to deliver several containers of medical supplies to local hospitals, medical centers, and clinics throughout many of Iraq’s provinces and also to other countries like Syria, Yemen, Haiti and Somalia.
