MEDICAL AID FOR PALESTINE ASSOCIATION

What MEDICAL AID FOR PALESTINE ASSOCIATION does

Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) is a UK-registered humanitarian charity founded in 1984 and headquartered in London at 50 Featherstone Street, EC1Y 8RT (Charity Registration No. 1045315; Company No. 3038352). Its mission is to work for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation and as refugees, delivering medical aid, health programmes, and rights-based advocacy across four operational geographies: Gaza, the West Bank (including East Jerusalem), Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, and its London headquarters. Services include emergency medical care and Emergency Medical Team deployments, the Solidarity Polyclinic in central Gaza, mobile clinics serving 40 isolated West Bank communities, food and nutrition programmes, mental health and psychosocial support, water and sanitation, women's and children's health, disability inclusion, and midwife home visits in Lebanese refugee camps.

MAP's core "product" is humanitarian healthcare delivery, not technology — source material explicitly describes core technology as "Humanitarian healthcare services and emergency medical response." In 2025, MAP delivered 1,955,520 services to Palestinians in Gaza across 43 projects, 234,656 mental health and psychosocial support services, and 95,346 emergency case services in the West Bank. Post-October 2025 ceasefire, MAP-supported facilities delivered 450,480 primary healthcare consultations reaching more than 112,000 Palestinians, and the Solidarity Polyclinic alone delivered 77,279 primary healthcare services to 19,320 displaced people in its first year.

MAP's revenue model is non-commercial and entirely donation- and grant-based. Four revenue streams are identified: individual donations (website, events, direct mail, recurring giving), Zakat donations under a 100% Zakat policy targeted at Muslim donor communities, corporate and institutional grants (with WHO, UNICEF, IRC, UNRWA, and other cluster partners), and legacy/bequest giving. All healthcare services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. No pricing model applies. Distribution occurs through MAP's own medical points, mobile clinics, hospital support (Nasser, Al-Aqsa, Solidarity Polyclinic), and a partner network including the Palestinian Ministry of Health, PMRS, UNRWA, and Al Awda Centre. GTM motion is community-led via fundraising events, individual donor engagement, Zakat appeals, advocacy campaigns targeting UK MPs, and recruitment of international medical volunteers. The organization won Third Sector Awards in 2024 and faces a material operational risk from Israel's revocation of MAP's operational license alongside those of over three dozen humanitarian organizations in Gaza.
