Emergency appeal to support al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City


The Anglican Diocese in Jerusalem has launched an emergency appeal for funds to support its al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City. The Anglican-run hospital has been overwhelmed by the number of casualties sustained during protests across the Gaza strip this month.

“Our Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza had been literally working around the clock to serve the wounded from the escalating violence in the Gaza Strip ...” Archbishop Suheil Dawani, the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem and Primate of the Anglican Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East, said.

Since the marches in Gaza began, UNRWA reports:

  • 117 people were shot dead including 13 children, of which 7 wereUNRWA students
  • 13,000 people were injured
  • Live ammunition was used on 3,500 people
  • Victims were systematically shot in their lower limbs, abdomen, back or head.
The hospital’s director, Suhaila Tarazi, described the situation as “critical”. She said that “the death toll in Gaza continues to rise” and said that the hospital needs “to obtain emergency medicine, medical supplies, and fuel for generators." 

UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krähenbühl issued a statement about the health situation resulting from the shooting in Gaza and sent out an emergency call to save Gaza's overburdened health system. He urges support for health care to patients who carry long-lasting physical and emotional scars from the violence.

Dr. Ghada Al Jadba, the Chief of Health Programme in Gaza, says, "I am asking you for your support. In this time of crisis, help us provide essential health services in Gaza."
