In a noble humanitarian gesture, Al-Baraka Association signed a Memorandum of Understanding on July 4, 2024, to establish and renovate a field eye hospital in Northern Gaza. This project was made possible through the generous donations of benefactors from the Sétif Province in Algeria.

On September 10, 2024, photos and videos documenting the renovation phases of this vital medical facility, named “Mujahid Dr. Mohamed Lamine Debaghine,” were shared publicly.

Who is the hero Dr. Mohamed Lamine Debaghine?

The hospital’s name honors Dr. Mohamed Lamine Debaghine, a prominent national figure and revolutionary hero in Algerian history.

Dr. Debaghine was a skilled physician and steadfast fighter (mujahid) for Algeria’s independence. He was a symbol of the struggle for liberation and a figure of immense sacrifice for his homeland. As one of the first doctors to join the resistance, he provided invaluable medical care to freedom fighters and played a significant role in organizing healthcare in liberated zones. His legacy of dedication and sacrifice makes him a fitting inspiration for this medical facility, which will serve hundreds of patients in need.

Through this naming, Al-Baraka Association aims to connect past sacrifices with present actions, inspiring future generations to continue building and giving back.

This initiative is part of the urgent “Fulfilled Promise” campaign to support Gaza, aiming to provide critical assistance to Palestinians and alleviate their suffering in light of recent events.

“With your hands… even hearts will be mended to smile again.” Al-Baraka Association calls on everyone to participate in this charitable act, emphasizing that every donation, no matter how small, contributes to restoring hope and joy to patients.

This noble endeavor reflects the deep fraternal ties between the Algerian and Palestinian people, reaffirming Algeria’s unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
