St. Philip’s church once offered a haven of devotion to Gaza’s small Christian community. After nine months of Israeli military action that has devastated the Palestinian enclave’s health system, priests have turned it into a hospital. Beds line the pale stone walls under a vaulted roof as doctors tend to patients unable to find a space at the Anglican-run Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital, which like Gaza’s other remaining medical facilities is straining under high demand.
