In these days of serious conflict in Gaza we might remember the work of the Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City. It was built in 1907 by the Church Missionary Society and is still operated as a Christian hospital which provides a service to all people regardless of their faith tradition.
The population of the Gaza Strip is 1.2 million, and about 3,000 of these people are Christians. Yet, Ahli Hospital is known and respected as a provider of the highest quality health care for all the women, children and men of Gaza, regardless of their religion, nationality or background. A significant portion of the care is charitable, as the staff minister to many of the poorest people, in a community where over 60% of the residents live in refugee camps.
Please remember in your prayers the staff and the patients in Al Ahli Arab Hospital.
Continue to pray that a peaceful resolution to the conflict will quickly be found.
The Bible Lands Society in the UK provides a route for us to support the hospital financially in these days of extreme need.
