Hamad City (Arabic: مدينة حمد, romanizedMadīnat Ḥamad) is a residential neighborhood in the city of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, built on the former location of the Israeli settlement of Katif. It was built using Qatari financial aid following the devastation of the 2012 Gaza War, and thus is named after Qatar's former Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
