The Kingdom has established two health centres in Ramallah and Jenin, serving tens of thousands of patients in the West Bank, as well as two military field hospitals in Gaza, one in the North of the strip, which was established in 2009, following the Hamas-Israel war in 2008. The second was established in Khan Younis in the south in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7.
