Al Ahli Anglican Hospital is currently open, providing medical assistance and shelter to those in the North of Gaza.
During a brief ceasefire, the World Health Organization (WHO) was able to oversee a delivery to the hospital, which remains the only functional medical centre in the northern part of Gaza. Among the items delivered were fuel for the generators, anesthesia, ICU supplies, emergency drugs, and IV fluids.
The WHO reported that the hospital is filled with hundreds of injured patients, with St. Philip’s Chapel being used to accommodate the massive overflow. The majority of cases are severe and need more advanced care and surgical intervention.
As of February 2024, Al Ahli Hospital continues to operate despite severe strain due to limited resources. While the Anglican church has been able to procure supplies locally, this is in a constant state of uncertainty.
As of April 2024, Al Ahli hospital has expanded operations to the city of Rafah. This extension clinic has been set up by displaced staff of Al Ahli hospital. Rafah is now a humanitarian shelter for those displaced by the conflict, with over 1.5 million people in the city (compared to just over 170,000 in 2017).
