Building resilient health systems is an important goal for the World Health Organization and clean energy supply to health infrastructures is part of the means to be developed.

Gaza has been affected by chronic electricity shortages for years, which severely compromise the provision of basic health services. With financial support from the Government of Japan, the World Health Organization provided a solar plant to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. The solar electrification of the hospital will significantly reduce reliance on donated fuel and contribute to building the resilience of the health system.
