BOULDER, Colo — Paramedics at the east side of Askar refugee camp in Palestine are celebrating the arrival of their first ambulance. The ambulance was purchased by the Boulder-Nablus Sister City Project .
“The eastern side of the city of Nablus doesn't have any hospitals,” said Essrea Cherin, the co-founder of BNSCP. It's an issue that has reached a breaking point, as the Israel-Palestine conflict escalates. More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023, according to Gaza's health ministry. Cherin said that the need for proper medical treatment is at an all-time high, but the resources are limited.
“It's going to save lives," Cherin said."This isn't really a divisive idea. Anyone can get behind saving lives with an ambulance."
