Prints for Gaza: the photography world’s initiative to support Palestinian hospitals

Ua photograph…. it will save Palestinian hospitals. The Live in Slums association and Perimetro have mobilized the world of photography in support of the Prints for Gaza campaign to support some health facilities operating in the Gaza Strip.

Such as the Medical aid for Palestinian, the MAPAl-Awda Hospital-MSF Doctors Without Borders, the Indonesian hospital of Beit Lahia, Al Shifa Hospital, active in Palestine since the beginning of the conflict.

The Prints for Gaza fundraiser

The campaign kicks off on November 9th.

To donate their works, until December 21st, among others Gabriele Galimberti and Paolo Woods, Alessandro Furchino Capria, Roberta Krasnig, Ed Kashi, Maria Clara Macrì, Alba Zari, Marta Bevacqua and Francesco Nazardo, and other professionals who responded to the appeal.

The photographs can be purchased online, on the independent magazine’s website, and at the spaces in via Tortona 31 (Spazio Crea).

The proceeds will be donated entirely, excluding fine art printing and shipping costs, to the identified healthcare and humanitarian facilities. Added to this initiative is the possibility – from 21 November to 10 December – to have an author’s portrait taken, in the Perimetro photographic studios in Milan and Rome, at a cost of 120 euros.

In this case 50% of the proceeds will be donated to charity, while the remaining 50%, excluding printing costs, will be allocated to the photographer chosen for your portrait.

Concrete actions against the war

Since October 7, the number of innocent civilians killed in Gaza has increased. The neutrality of medical facilities and refugee camps was not respected.

All the country’s health facilities are reeling from the huge influx of injured civilians and report that their emergency rooms and intensive care units are overloaded and unable to operate due to lack of supplies.

We asked ourselves how to help the civilian population by supporting emergency medical assistance to hospitals and to the associations that are operating, guaranteeing absolute priority to civilian victims.

It is estimated that more than 100,000 people already in treatment will no longer be able to receive assistance. These are emergency medical facilities that guarantee absolute priority to civilian victims; and medical personnel who continue to work in the area despite the risks now being very high. Even buying a photo can help those who save lives.
