T1International’s Gaza #insulin4all Chapter brings together people living with diabetes, caregivers, and advocates working to protect access to life-saving diabetes care during an ongoing humanitarian crisis.

The chapter works to ensure that the experiences and needs of people with diabetes in Palestine are heard. Through advocacy, storytelling, and community support, the Gaza #insulin4all Chapter highlights the urgent need for reliable access to insulin, glucose self-monitoring supplies, and other essential diabetes care.

What We’re Working On

Gaza #insulin4all Chapter is focused on supporting people with diabetes facing extraordinary barriers to accessing essential medicines and supplies.

During the humanitarian crisis, people with diabetes have faced serious challenges maintaining consistent access to insulin and glucose self-monitoring supplies. The chapter works to raise awareness of these realities and advocate for the rights of people with diabetes to receive the care they need by sharing stories from people living with diabetes throughout Palestine to highlight the impact of limited access to essential supplies.
