Over 1,000 healthcare professionals have registered to travel to and treat patients in besieged Gaza during the ongoing crisis, according to Dr. Zahid Latif, the Chairman of Al-Khidmat Health Foundation.
Among these medical professionals, 400 are female doctors, and they represent various specialties such as orthopedic, vascular, and general surgeons, anesthetists, pediatric surgeons, emergency and critical care specialists, and gynecologists.

The Gaza healthcare system has been severely impacted by Israeli airstrikes, resulting in the destruction of numerous health facilities and the loss of medical personnel. More than 18,000 individuals have been injured, with limited access to medical supplies.
The Al-Khidmat Health Foundation has contacted the World Health Organization (WHO) to inform them of the Pakistani healthcare specialists willing to assist in Gaza, but formal approval has not yet been granted by WHO or partner organizations to send medical professionals to the conflict zone.
