Anera received a donation of 250 3D-printed tourniquets made by a small non-hierarchical collective in Tucson, Arizona, using an open-source design. The shipment arrived in Lebanon after April 8 strikes wounded at least 1,000 people in under 10 minutes. Hospitals and the ministry issued a call for support because supplies were already out of stock, and items expected to last one or two months were depleted immediately. Anera works with hospitals, first responders, and other NGOs to source and distribute urgently needed medical supplies amid ongoing attacks that have killed thousands, injured more than 10,000, and displaced more than 1.2 million people.
"The day after [these strikes], the hospitals and ministry launched a call for support because items were out of stock already. "Items that were supposed to last for one or two months were directly depleted because the hospitals weren't expecting to support that many patients.""
"Even more unusual was the fact they were manufactured by a small non-hierarchical collective using an open-source design on the other end of the world, in Tucson, Arizona. The shipment arrived in Lebanon after more than 100 Israeli strikes wounded at least 1,000 people in less than 10 minutes on April 8."
"Anera is one of the organizations struggling to keep Lebanon's medical system functioning amid unrelenting Israeli attacks, working closely with hospitals, first responders, and other NGOs to source and distribute urgently needed medical supplies. Since March 2, Israel has killed more than 3,224 people in Lebanon, injured more than 10,000, and displaced more than 1.2 million people."
