SAFA— A 75-year-old Italian woman has pledged to sell her family's centuries-old palace in southern Italy and donate the entire proceeds to Doctors Without Borders to help provide medical treatment for Palestinian children injured in Gaza.

Eugenia Granito, who owns a historic 17th-century palace in Rocca Cilento, in Italy's Salerno province, said she was moved to take the extraordinary step after witnessing the suffering of children amid Gaza's devastating humanitarian and medical crisis.

"Everything I receive from the sale of this house will go to Doctors Without Borders for the children of Gaza," Granito told Vanity Fair Italia in an interview published November 5.

Granito said she was particularly affected by images of Palestinian children who had lost limbs and undergone amputations without anesthesia because of severe shortages of medical supplies.

Her decision means parting with a property that has been closely tied to her family's history for generations.

The 17th-century palace includes a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph, documented during a bishop's pastoral visit in 1751, and a garden containing old trees, including one planted by Granito's father in 1949.

Despite the property's historical and sentimental value, Granito said helping Gaza's children was more important.

She hopes the money raised from the sale could help establish a hospital or another medical facility for children affected by the war.

Granito also said she would like a representative of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the international medical humanitarian organization, to attend the final signing before a notary so they can discuss how best to use the donation.

The sale is being handled by real estate agent Francesco Pio Figliola, who brought Granito's decision to public attention through a video featuring her explanation of the initiative.

The palace's value is still being assessed, and no final sale price has been announced.

Granito's pledge comes as Gaza's health care system continues to face severe shortages of medicines, medical equipment, and functioning facilities, leaving thousands of injured and sick children in urgent need of treatment.

Many Palestinian children require complex surgeries, rehabilitation, prosthetic limbs, and long-term medical care following injuries sustained during the war.

Although the palace has not yet been sold, Granito has made clear that she intends to donate all the proceeds to MSF to support medical assistance for children in Gaza.

By giving up a home that carries centuries of family memories, Granito hopes to help give Palestinian children something far more precious: access to medical care and a chance to recover.
