A Palestinian cancer survivor has made a massive donation to an Israeli hospital to treat children with the condition and send a message of “solidarity”.
The man, who has not been named, gave tens of thousands of shekels to the Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa after he was treated there. The 1,000-bed research hospital serves more than two million people in northern Israel.
The donor, who is believed to be a senior Palestinian Authority official, was directed to Rambam for examinations and treatment, TPS News reported. He was hospitalised in the Joseph Fishman Oncology Centre, where he met families of young patients.
In a statement released by the hospital, M said: “When I arrived at Rambam (Hospital), I saw a medical team caring for patients, but I also saw the suffering of the sick children.
