Key takeaways

Medical Aid for Palestinians names Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon as its priority areas and works mainly through local partner organisations there, so a group delivering health, mental health, disability or women's and children's health work with such partners is the closest fit.
Its grant range is not stated, and its annual grants to institutions total £3,669,000, so frame any request around a specific partner-delivered activity rather than assuming a particular amount will suit.
No application process is published and no timing is given, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown to ask how it works with new partners.
It selects partners through due diligence and assesses new ones on operational and financial grounds, so a small organisation should be ready to show its own financial and operational systems.
Work outside its listed themes or areas is less likely to match.
