We are heartbroken by the devastating impact of renewed Israeli rocket strikes on Gaza, which have shattered the fragile ceasefire and brought more destruction and loss of life.

One of the hardest-hit areas is the Anglican Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, which is overwhelmed with patients, many of whom are children. Despite severe damage to its infrastructure, including solar panels, and ongoing shortages of medical supplies, the hospital continues to operate at near full capacity, providing critical care to those in need.

Thanks to the support of Anglican partners worldwide through the Anglican Alliance, Al-Ahli has been able to treat over 2000 outpatients and more than 200 inpatients in the last 15 months. This vital work will continue into a third phase starting at the end of this month.

Meanwhile, the same project is supporting healthcare and education in the West Bank, where both the economy and daily life have been deeply affected by renewed violence and restrictions.

We are grateful for the unwavering dedication of doctors, nurses, and staff who continue to provide care, and we pray for an immediate return to ceasefire and a lasting, just peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.

The powerful images shared here were taken by Dr. Maher Ayyad in January of this year. Let’s stand in solidarity with those who need our support more than ever.
