Abstract

The second Emergency Medical Team (EMT) mission of the Indonesian Red Crescent (BSMI) to Gaza aimed to deliver direct healthcare services and medical knowledge transfer during armed conflict. A multidisciplinary team (4 specialist physicians and 1 dentist) implemented an integrative service-learning approach over 16 days (17 April – 2 May 2025) at Al Nasser Hospital, Khan Younis, through three strategies: (1) emergency medical services, (2) resident/intern education mentoring, and (3) stem cell therapy for wound care. The team managed 287 emergency cases (42% fractures, 28% deliveries, 30% infections) and trained 23 local medical staff. Key challenges included medical equipment shortages (67% unmet needs) and security instability. The service-learning collaboration effectively enhanced crisis response capacity. Urgent recommendations include: opening humanitarian corridors, sustaining team rotations, and advancing medical diplomacy.
