The Ahli Hospital is the only hospital still operating in Gaza City. It remains the sole facility equipped with essential medical infrastructure including a CT scanner and a functioning operating theatre.

"Our dedicated staff are working diligently to restore the affected areas and ensure the uninterrupted delivery of critical medical care…[They] are highly capable of handling all kinds of emergencies and have successfully saved thousands of lives during times of attack…We are truly blessed to have such dedicated and resilient staff, who continue to meet these challenges with unwavering commitment and compassion…We must continue to urgently advocate for immediate access to humanitarian aid.”
Sawsan Aranki-Batato, Programs Development Officer, Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem & the Middle East.

Mosaic is partnered with the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem and the Anglican Alliance, to provide critical emergency support to those affected by the conflict in Gaza & the West Bank. By working closely with established local institutions, experienced staff, and experts who understand the unique context and needs on the ground we can target support to those who need it, in the most efficient and effective way. This means Mosaic's support covers the Al Ahli Hospital in the heart of Gaza City, the Almawasi Outreach Clinic in southern Gaza, and St Luke's Hospital in Nablus and the Penman Clinic in Zababdeh.

Sawsan, who manages the emergency humanitarian response, went on to tell us; “Despite the destruction, we are fortunate to continue operations as our core services remain intact. We anticipate a steady rise in the number of patients due to the ongoing incursions. Our staff are experienced in operating under pressure and are highly capable of handling all kinds of emergencies. They have successfully saved thousands of lives during times of attack. They have utilised – and will continue to utilise – all available spaces in the hospital, including the corridors and the church."

The ceasefire earlier this year allowed many people to seek treatment at Al Ahli after many months with virtually no access to healthcare. Yet the ceasefire has not held. The hospital’s chapel (since damaged in the Palm Sunday attack) and library were repurposed to accommodate inpatients, while Red Crescent ambulances are transporting patients since the hospital's own ambulances were destroyed during the conflict.
