A hospital in the West Bank, the contested area at the epicenter of the Israel/Palestine conflict, is currently in the process of adding a new wind turbine, ensuring the facility can continue to serve patients in some capacity, even if the surrounding areas loses power. Al-Ahli Hospital, the largest hospital in the Hebron district, contains 365 beds with a capacity for 500 patients in emergency scenarios. The project was inaugurated in 2009, when the European Union (EU) agreed to fund 80 percent of the $2.6 million construction operation.
