The field hospital in Northern Gaza has treated over 120,588 patients, while the southern facility has provided care to more than 362,389 individuals. Together, the hospitals have performed over 36,000 surgeries and fitted 532 upper and lower prosthetic limbs as part of the "Hope Restoration" initiative.
