The construction of a hospital, fully funded by the Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C), in the Gaza Strip is nearing completion, chairman of the humanitarian outfit, Sarbini Abdul Murrad, said on Wednesday.
“We will start furnishing the new building in May before installing the German-made medical equipment. Hopefully, we will be able to complete the process by the end of this year and the hospital will begin operations in 2013,” he said.
Sarbini added that the hospital was aimed at treating and rehabilitating trauma patients, as well as providing first aid and care for those living in the Gaza strip.
Gaza regularly sees outbreaks of violence, the result of a stand-off between the Israeli government and Hamas, the local Palestinian authority in the territory.
The hospital, which began construction last year on 9,000 square-meters of land donated by the Palestinian Authority, is located only three kilometers from the Israeli border. more
