Global Healing Program Updates: New Milestones Across Portugal, Mexico, the United States, and Egypt
Donate to HEAL Palestine
Every donation is a step toward HEALing and empowering the children of Gaza. Thank you for supporting our mission!
HEAL Palestine’s Global Healing Program continues to support injured children from Gaza through specialized medical care, rehabilitation, prosthetics, surgery, and long-term recovery across multiple countries.
In recent weeks, several children in the program have reached important milestones, each one reflecting the same commitment: helping children access the care they need, while continuing to support them through every stage of healing.
Dima and Malak Arrive Safely in Portugal
Dima and Malak have arrived safely in Portugal through HEAL Palestine’s Global Healing Program. HEAL Palestine brought both girls and their families from Egypt to Portugal so they can begin receiving the specialized treatment and rehabilitation they need.
Their arrival marks an important expansion of the Global Healing Program into Portugal, made possible through coordination with partners including Parents for Peace Portugal and GARPP.
For injured children from Gaza, reaching a country where care is available is only the beginning. Once they arrive, HEAL Palestine continues supporting their medical appointments, rehabilitation, housing, family needs, and long-term care planning.

Seba Stands on Her Prosthetics and Bakes Cupcakes
Seba, 12, lost both legs in a bombing in Gaza. Through HEAL Palestine’s Global Healing Program, she is now receiving treatment and rehabilitation in the United States.
Recently, Seba reached a meaningful everyday milestone: she baked cupcakes while standing on her prosthetic legs.
For a child learning to walk again, moments like this matter. They show strength, balance, confidence, and the return of ordinary childhood activities that injury tried to take away. Seba says she is a great cook. We believe her.

Mira Continues Rehabilitation in Mexico City
Mira, 5, was shot in the head in Gaza and came to Mexico City through HEAL Palestine’s Global Healing Program for emergency brain surgery.
Today, she is continuing her rehabilitation, working hard in therapy one session at a time. Her recovery requires patience, specialized care, and consistent support as she rebuilds strength and function after a life-threatening injury.
HEAL Palestine continues standing with Mira and her family as she moves through this next stage of healing in Mexico.

Mohammed Completes His Houston Phase and Continues Rehabilitation in Egypt
Mohammed, 15, lost both legs and suffered devastating injuries to his hands in a bombing in Gaza. In 2025, he came to Houston through HEAL Palestine’s Global Healing Program for treatment and rehabilitation at Pharaoh Clinic.
During his time in Houston, Mohammed learned to walk again on his prosthetics and was embraced by a community that stood beside him through each step of recovery.
He is now heading to Egypt to continue his rehabilitation under HEAL Palestine’s sponsorship until he is able to return to Gaza.
Thank you, Houston. Thank you to everyone whose support helped make this milestone possible.

Healing Across Borders
These updates reflect the purpose of HEAL Palestine’s Global Healing Program. Children with life-changing injuries need more than emergency care. They need surgery, rehabilitation, prosthetics, physical therapy, psychosocial support, safe housing, family assistance, and continuity of care across borders.
From Portugal to Mexico, from Houston to Egypt, HEAL Palestine continues building pathways of healing for injured children from Gaza, one child and one milestone at a time.
