From Episcopal Life On Line-As the embattled residents of Gaza struggle for survival 18 days into a bloody Israeli military operation, the Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City continues to bring some semblance of hope to the local Palestinian community through its commitment to providing critical healthcare services to anyone in need.
One of 37 institutions run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, the hospital has struggled to meet the increased demands on its already-overburdened staff, who have tended to the wounded despite being surrounded by conflict, the challenges of diminishing medical supplies, and their own fatigue.
A January 14 update from the diocese's healthcare department reported that much-needed supplies, including medicines and blankets, had finally been received by the hospital as several trucks arrived in convoys coordinated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
