From Middle East Monitor-
Members of the US Episcopal Church are
urging support for Palestinian hospitals in the occupied West Bank and
Gaza Strip, in light of the coronavirus public health emergency.
According to the Episcopal News Service, American Friends of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem (AFEDJ) “has launched an urgent appeal
for support to help the leaders and staff at Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza
City make preparations to serve and care for its neighbours” in the
days ahead.
The report noted how “Gaza
is one of the most densely populated places on earth”, with life already
“precarious and dangerous”, adding that “the presence of the
coronavirus in this crowded, impoverished strip of land quickly will
become a full-blown crisis”.
