Description (About the Facility)

Al-Shifa Hospital Complex is one of the largest health institutions in the Gaza Strip. It is located in northwestern Gaza, 500 meters from the Mediterranean Sea, between Shati’ refugee camp and Al-Rimal neighborhood in central Gaza, and covers an area of 45,000 square meters.

The hospital was opened as a medical facility in 1946 during the British Mandate on what previously was a military outpost of the British Army. As Egypt assumed control of Gaza City, following the 1948 Nakba, the hospital became centralized in the coastal enclave with expanded departments and more beds. With the occupation of the Gaza Strip in 1967, the hospital came under Israeli military rule.

The hospital was significantly expanded in 1980 by an Israeli company, under the supervision of the occupation army. The executing company was the same company that designed a similar Israeli hospital in the city of Hadera south of Haifa. The hospital was later transferred to the Palestinian Authority following the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1994, and it was expanded through the construction of new buildings and expansion of rooms. In 2006, the hospital became managed by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza after the Palestinian division.

The hospital employs about 1,500 employees, including 500 doctors and 760 nurses, equivalent to a quarter of the hospital workers in the Gaza Strip, and it has 700 patient beds, according to statistics from Doctors Without Borders. The complex includes a number of specialized hospitals, including a surgery hospital, an internal medicine hospital, an obstetrics and genecology hospital with a premature baby nursery department, and an emergency department with an intensive care unit, radiology, blood bank and planning, and specialized outpatient clinics.

Effect of siege (2007 - 2023)

The Israeli blockade and closure policies against the Gaza in June 2006 prevented plans to make Al-Shifa Hospital into a university teaching hospital, due to the lack of equipment and construction materials.

During 2007, the hospital witnessed a sharp decline in health care levels, as the blockade policies prevented most diagnostic laboratories from operating, such as MRIs and X-rays.[1] The blockade also reduced the hospital's services to emergency interventions due to lack of fuel for backup transformers and vehicles[2]. 

In October 2007, all elective surgeries in the complex were suspended due to the lack of nitrous oxide gas, and other drugs were used for anesthesia during operations, until the gas was introduced after the intervention of the World Health Organization (WHO)[3].

During the 2008 Gaza Massacre, the hospital mobilized about 600 staff and equipped about 11 operating rooms, receiving most of the casualties, with the intensive care unit operating at full capacity. The hospital’s administration had to admit 50 wounded people at once to the operating rooms, and the internal medicine and maternity departments were converted into additional surgical arenas, as the hospital's operating rooms were prepared to receive six injured people in a normal situation[4]. The Palestinian Ministry of Health warned of the collapse of the health sector as a result of the shortage of more than 335 pharmaceutical and therapeutic items, such as alcohol, cotton, sterilizers, heart and cancer medicines. Medical staff at the hospital were forced to perform many interventions and surgeries without anesthesia, tourniquets and sutures, especially in the reception and emergency departments[5]. According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), all of the above-mentioned facts caused Al-Shifa Hospital to be stretched to the limit, in addition to receiving dozens of  injured patients from Al-Quds Hospital, which was bombed during the aggression on January 15, 2008[6]. The health care building near the complex was also targeted, and many windows of the complex's departments were damaged when a mosque located opposite it along Izz al-Din al-Qassam Street was targeted[7]. 

narrative during this war

As Israel begins its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, Al-Shifa Hospital starts to operate according to pre-prepared contingency plans. Due to the threat of fuel shortages, in light of the limited availability of backup generators, additional measures are taken, including keeping operating rooms open, suspending some elective surgeries, working in the dark and limiting the use of elevators. Approximately 60,000 people are displaced to the Shifa compound, placing an additional burden on the hospital, which is already operating at more than 100 percent capacity.

On October 18, 2023: The hospital received all the sick and injured patients from Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital after it was bombed, increasing the pressure on the hospital's facilities and forcing medical staff to perform operations and medical interventions in the hospital's corridors and floors[9].
