Al-Ahli Arab Hospital: The Historic Christian Medical Center in Gaza

Did you know that on October seventeenth, twenty twenty-three, a major explosion occurred in a courtyard of the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City during the Gaza war? The blast resulted in a large number of displaced Palestinians seeking shelter on the hospital grounds being killed or injured. Managed by the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and founded in eighteen eighty-two in the Zeitoun neighborhood of southern Gaza City, al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital is one of the oldest medical facilities in the city and stands as the only Christian hospital in the entire Gaza Strip.
