Four humanitarian-minded medical doctors, members of the nonprofit Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA) have safely returned to the United States following an intense journey to southern Gaza. As bombings and attacks continued, these physicians put their own safety aside to provide critical medical care to thousands of maimed, burned, and traumatized men, women, and children of the Israeli-Hamas conflict.

More than 30 percent of the population under the age of 10 in Palestinian territories is susceptible to various eye diseases. IMANA has launched a vision care project to provide free surgical procedures and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations to children in the Gaza strip.
Research shows 80% of what a child learns is vision-based, but some of those in Gaza are losing their childhood to poor vision and lack of eye care services.
