UAE Commits $64.5 Million to Al Makassed Hospital in East Jerusalem
The funding aims to bolster health care services for over 66,000 patients in the region.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a commitment of $64.5 million to support Al Makassed Hospital in East Jerusalem.
This financial aid is designated for covering operational expenses and facilitating much-needed upgrades to the facility.
Al Makassed Hospital is a key health care institution, serving more than 66,000 patients from Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank, and Gaza.
The funding underscores efforts to enhance health care services in a region marked by significant challenges, exacerbated by ongoing political and economic instability.
The hospital plays a critical role in providing medical care in a context where access to health services can be limited.
The UAE's pledge is expected to improve the infrastructure and capacity of Al Makassed, enabling it to continue its operations effectively amidst growing healthcare demands.
This initiative aligns with broader humanitarian objectives aimed at supporting Palestinian health care, reflecting the UAE’s ongoing commitment to assist in alleviating the medical needs of the Palestinian population.
