St. Joseph's Hospital in Jerusalem, a key Christian medical institution, has become increasingly reliant on foreign donations, particularly from Qatar, due to insufficient funding from Israeli authorities. The hospital, which provides advanced cancer care and other complex treatments to Arab communities in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and sometimes the Gaza Strip, faces ongoing financial challenges. Its director noted that while the hospital received a significant donation from Qatar before October, support from Israel has been much smaller, forcing the institution to look abroad for essential funds. This reliance highlights the growing influence of foreign countries like Qatar and Turkey in Jerusalem's healthcare sector.
