UAE's Humanitarian Initiative: Establishment of a 150-Bed Field Hospital in Gaza
Five aircraft, departing from Abu Dhabi, were dispatched to Arish in northern Egypt to transport the necessary equipment for the field hospital, marking the UAE's unwavering commitment to provide crucial medical support. However, the logistics of transferring this vital equipment to Gaza, the site of the hospital, remain uncertain, primarily due to the limited operational border access. Currently, the Rafah crossing near Arish stands as the sole operational point of entry into Gaza.

In a significant humanitarian effort, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced its plan to establish a 150-bed field hospital in the Gaza Strip. This initiative comes in the wake of the devastating Israeli bombardments that have tragically claimed the lives of over 10,000 people. Official sources, as reported by the UAE's WAM news agency, confirm the deployment of essential equipment and supplies to this hospital.
The field hospital is expected to offer a wide range of medical services, including anesthesia, surgical procedures, gynecological care, and intensive care units, catering to both children and adults. With a distressing revelation by Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry that approximately 4,000 children are among the 10,000 casualties resulting from the ongoing bombings, the need for comprehensive medical care is dire.
This humanitarian effort is part of the UAE's broader commitment to assisting the people of Gaza. The UAE had previously announced plans to bring around 1,000 Palestinian children and their families from the Gaza Strip for medical treatment at hospitals within the UAE, emphasizing its dedication to alleviating the suffering and trauma caused by the ongoing conflict.
