Field Hospital of UAE in Gaza Maintaining Essential Medical Services Through Rafah Crisis

Under the continuous crisis, the field hospital of the United Arab Emirates in Gaza keeps offering vital medical treatments to Rafah people. The medical team has been treating a consistent flow of injured women and children as well as patients with chronic conditions, according to orthopaedic surgery expert Dr. Saif Al-Mehrzi of the hospital.

Among the important operations carried out lately, the medical staff of the hospital effectively removed a metal implant and performed an endoscopy on an inflammatory wound for a patient experiencing problems following surgery last October. This operation proved the hospital’s crucial part in treating war-related injuries and consequences since it helped the patient’s limbs from amputation to be spared.

The humanitarian projects of the United Arab Emirates go beyond its own field hospital. Under Operation Gallant Knight 3, the UAE has been aggressively supplying medical supplies and aid to assist other hospitals in Gaza. The UAE lately sent the British field hospital in Rafah about three tons of medications, treatments, and dressings. Operating under the UK-MED framework, this assistance is absolutely vital for the British hospital in helping displaced people in the “Mawasi Khan Yunis” humanitarian area satisfy their needs.
