The Emirates Floating Hospital in the city of Al-Arish, Egypt, has admitted 11 new patients from the Gaza Strip for medical treatment. With the arrival of these patients, the total number of patients treated since the reopening of the Rafah crossing has reached 115. This statistic reflects the extensive scale of the Emirates' medical response to the Gaza crisis.
Specialized Medical Services
Specialized medical and nursing teams conducted initial assessments upon the patients' arrival and developed treatment plans tailored to each case. The floating hospital was established under Operation "Brave Knight 3," which is part of the UAE's extensive humanitarian efforts to support the Palestinian people and alleviate the suffering caused by the conflict in Gaza.
Response to Health Needs
As part of Operation "Brave Knight 3," the UAE has allocated significant resources to address the health and medical needs of those affected by the crisis. The floating hospital continues to provide a wide range of specialized services to Palestinian patients and victims entering from Gaza. Medical teams at this hospital are prepared to manage complex cases that require advanced intervention.
The reopening of the Rafah crossing for the transfer of patients needing treatment beyond what is available in Gaza has been critically important. The healthcare infrastructure in Gaza is under severe pressure, and the Emirates Floating Hospital has emerged as a key resource in filling this gap, helping to provide specialized care to individuals who would otherwise not have access to it.
