Mohammed Yousef El-Najar Hospital
The Mohammed Yousef El-Najar Hospital (Arabic: مستشفى الشهيد أبو يوسف النجار) is a hospital in Rafah, Gaza Strip, Palestine. In May 2024, during the Israel-Hamas war, the hospital relocated to a makeshift facility prior to the Rafah offensive. [1]
History
The hospital was established in 2000 by transforming the previous center for primary care at the building.[2] The hospital spans an area of 4,000 m2. It has 65 beds and two operating rooms.[2] The emergency department has 9 beds.[3]
On 1 August 2014, the building was attacked by Israel Defense Forces.[citation needed]
During the 2023 Gaza economic protests, Hamas authorities launched an arrest campaign after the outbreak of protests, including raiding the hospital to arrest injured protestors seeking treatment at the hospital.[4]
