The Rivers of Mercy 2025 Impact Report is out, and it captures something we’ve felt all year: even in the hardest conditions, care, dignity, and community still find a way.
Across Gaza and the West Bank, families have faced displacement, insecurity, and severe restrictions on access to essential healthcare. In her message in the report, Haifa Abd Al-Hakeem, Chair of the Board of Trustees, reflects on a year marked by immense hardship, but also extraordinary resilience. She describes the clinics in Jericho and Gaza as a lifeline for vulnerable patients, many of whom have no other access to healthcare.
A snapshot of the impact in 2025
The report’s key numbers from 2025 show the scale and range of care delivered through the Jericho clinic:
- 6,806 unique patients served
- 85 people supported with comprehensive psychological care, including diagnostic assessments, behavioural therapy, and mental health programmes
- 1,950 home visits delivered to elderly, disabled, and chronically ill patients—bringing integrated physical and mental health support to people who can’t easily travel
- Ongoing wound care and nursing support
Women’s health was a major focus throughout the year. The report notes that 553 mothers and women received prenatal and postnatal care, high-risk pregnancy management, advanced foetal monitoring (including ultrasound), and gynaecology consultations.
Alongside the impact, this report includes a clear warning: the Jericho clinic is at immediate risk due to a severe funding shortfall. To keep services open and fully operational, Rivers of Mercy urgently needs to raise £25,000 per month to retain medical staff, purchase life-saving supplies, and ensure uninterrupted care.
