Orthopaedic surgeon and Gaza Freedom Flotilla participant — the inspirational Dr Swee Ang joined us at Amos Day back in September. Swee was the first female orthopaedic consultant appointed to the St Bartholomew and the Royal London Hospitals and is a co-founder of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). Gill Hewitt spoke to her.

Chris Rose visited Al Ahli Hospital and NECC in Gaza City in October.
 Here he writes about how these two Amos partners continue to do such important work under such difficult circumstances.

“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Amos Trust is running its annual appeal to raise awareness and vital funds to support the women of Gaza in their fight against breast cancer – Women 4 Women.” Amos supporter Sarah Baron writes about her experience of meeting the incredible women of the West Bank.

"Gaza is fast becoming unliveable and there is growing concern that a new conflict will break out. This represents another formidable chapter in the ongoing struggle faced by our partners NECC and Al Ahli Hospital." An update from Chris Rose on our partners and projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

“We act not because we are hopeful, but because it is the right thing to do. We act because we have been inspired by our Palestinian friends and because of all that we have learnt from them.” Amos Director Chris Rose writes about the 70th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba — or ‘catastrophe’.
