Dignity from the Start: Welcoming Newborns Amid Displacement
Welcoming a newborn in shelter tents and displacement camps across the Gaza Strip is one of the most complex human experiences. Mothers find themselves facing an acute shortage of basic hygiene and care supplies, skyrocketing prices for infant formula, and skin rashes caused by the lack of proper health consumables.
In response to this direct and urgent health need, Ejabh Organization launched the 2026 Newborn and Maternity Care Kits Initiative. The campaign provides direct in-kind support to protect infants in their first weeks and equips mothers with essential care tools to mitigate health risks stemming from harsh field conditions.
📦 Newborn and Maternity Kit Contents: Complete Care in One Package
Teams from Ejabh Organization carefully prepared each kit with integrated essentials to address the immediate needs of both infant and mother:
-
Warm Clothing and Blankets: Complete cotton clothing sets suitable for newborns, along with blankets and wraps to shield them from weather fluctuations and cold tents.
-
Hygiene and Health Care Essentials: Packages of high-quality diapers (Pampers), sterilized wet wipes, and skin care ointments to prevent diaper rash.
-
Essential Nutrition and Supplies: Formula tins dedicated to newborns, accompanied by sterilized feeding bottles to support infant nutrition.
-
Maternal Essentials: Personal health and care items to help mothers navigate the postpartum period safely and with dignity.
🌟 Health and Humanitarian Impact
These kits created a tangible difference in the daily lives of beneficiary families:
-
Preventing Skin and Intestinal Illnesses: Supplying hygienic diapers and sanitizing products that protect infants’ delicate skin from infections caused by environmental contamination.
-
Relieving Severe Financial Burdens: Relieving low-income families from the exorbitant cost of purchasing maternity supplies, diapers, and formula in local markets.
-
Psychological Support for Mothers: Restoring a sense of security and care for mothers, enabling them to attend to their infants directly without struggling to find basic hygiene items.
“I was deeply worried about how I would afford clothes and diapers for my newborn under these conditions. Receiving this complete kit made me feel that someone understands our pain and stands with us,” shared one mother after receiving her baby’s kit inside a shelter center.
