Eighty-eight were taken to hospitals in Jerusalem, while others were treated as outpatients, said a statement.
Most of the injuries were caused by rubber bullets fired by Israeli police, it added.
Palestine Red Crescent established a field hospital in the region because of a lack of beds at hospitals.
Israeli police attempted to disperse worshippers inside the Haram al-Sharif area of Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday, using stun grenades and gas bombs.
Police attacked Muslim worshippers inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque while worshippers were performing tarawih -- special night prayers -- during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world's third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area the "Temple Mount," claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognized by the international community.
