Funding in Israel
- Rozana International's 2025 programmes, as reported by the UK charity: two tent-based Gaza Community Clinics (8,791 patient visits in the last five months of 2025); Women4Women, a mobile clinic in the West Bank (12,428 visits in 11 areas, including four new "underserved West Bank communities"); Wheels of Hope (8,463 patient rides to Israeli hospitals, facing "permit delays, route closures, checkpoint changes"); dialogue workshops for Arab–Jewish teams at Sheba and Carmel hospitals; and a Day After Initiative backed by AUD 4 million from the Australian Government, including planning for Al Rahma Rehabilitation Hospital (PDF p.4–5).[2] A 2026 women's ambulance-driver course is planned with Magen David Adom and the Lissan School (PDF p.5).[2]
- In 2019 Project Rozana described itself as raising funds "for the transport and treatment of critically-ill children from the West Bank and Gaza in Israeli hospitals", working with Road to Recovery.[3]
Israeli partners
Rozana International; partners named include Road to Recovery (2019 website), Sheba and Carmel hospitals and Magen David Adom.[2][3]
Activity beyond the Green Line and support for the IDF
Findings are graded by confidence. "Partner" findings concern the Israeli recipient organisation, not proven use of UK funds.
| Finding | Confidence |
|---|---|
| Gaza Community Clinics (Gaza Strip) and Women4Women mobile clinic (West Bank) – Rozana International projects beyond the 1949 line serving Palestinian patients; humanitarian health work, not settlement activity. UK funds are not allocated to specific projects.[2] | High |
| Sheba and Carmel hospitals (dialogue workshops) – no addresses given in the accounts, and none verified for this profile.[2] | Not established |
Support for the IDF: No IDF or military funding is stated.[2]
Controversies and regulatory action
- No Charity Commission inquiry, Official Warning or Gazette insolvency notice naming this charity was found, and its register entry shows no regulatory alert;[4] it is not among the charities named in the Commission's cheque-cashing class-inquiry announcements (May, September and December 2025) or in the September 2026 statement of results.[5][6][7][8] The charities in the Commission's settlements class inquiry (opened August 2026) have not been named, so it is not known whether this charity is among them.[9]
- UK spending not allocated. The 2025 accounts show no "Donations" (2024: £204,058) and "Charitable work" of £109,882 with no recipient or programme stated, so it is not possible to say which Rozana International projects UK funds supported (PDF p.12).[2]
- Legal form misstated. The notes describe the charity as "a private company limited by guarantee", although it is a CIO (PDF p.10, 13).[2][1]
