A delegation from the World Health Organisation (WHO) has visited the UAE field hospital in Rafah and was briefed on its ongoing healthcare efforts in Gaza as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.
The delegation praised the UAE for its significant humanitarian contributions, particularly its continued provision of medical care and assistance to those injured in the Gaza Strip and the dedication of Emirati medical staff to alleviating Palestinians' suffering.
During the visit, the hospital staff showcased the advanced medical equipment and resources deployed by the UAE to assist Palestinians. They also discussed the revival of the prosthetic limbs projects and strategies for sustaining the UAE's aid post-ceasefire.
The visit included a tour of the hospital's facilities, where both parties emphasised the importance of continued efforts in evacuating and treating the injured. The discussions also focused on ensuring a continuous supply of medical aid between the hospital and WHO to address healthcare shortages.
The UAE field hospital has already provided emergency aid, including approximately one tonne of medical supplies, wheelchairs, and crutches, to address the severe shortages facing the healthcare sector.
