Following the violence in Gaza in May this year, Anglican Missions launched an emergency appeal for Al Ahli Hospital, in the centre of Gaza City. In addition to the hospital, Al Ahli provides free mobile clinics to villages across Gaza. Al Ahli Arab Hospital is a ministry of the Episcopal/Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem and funding was greatly needed to help the hospital continue to serve a community in need, Fr Wallace said.
