A new batch of medical volunteers joined their colleagues at the UAE field hospital in Gaza.
The “Gallant Knight 3” humanitarian operation announced that eight volunteers make up the fifth batch arrived in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of volunteers working at the hospital to 43.
The hospital has received more than 757 cases so far, providing them with the necessary medical care and cases requiring further care were transferred to the specialised clinics that were equipped in the hospital.
Since its establishment, the field hospital has performed more than 141 major surgical operations, in addition to dealing with dozens of cases, on daily basis, that require rapid, life-saving intervention.
The hospital includes operating rooms equipped to perform various types of surgeries, including general, paediatric, and vascular surgeries, as well as intensive care rooms for adults and children, an anaesthesia department, and specialised clinics including internal medicine, dentistry, orthopaedics, psychiatry, family medicine, paediatrics, and gynaecology.
In addition, the hospital provides CT and X-ray scans and is equipped with a pharmacy and a laboratory fitted with the latest equipment to perform various types of tests and examinations, ensuring the provision of comprehensive treatment for patients as per the best international standards and protocols.
Gaza shelters supplied with drinking water
As part of the ‘Gallant Knight 3’ humanitarian operation, the United Arab Emirates yesterday commenced delivering drinking water produced by the Emirati-built desalination plants in Refah, Egypt, to the shelters within the Gaza Strip.
The residents of the Gaza Strip, who are benefiting from this noble initiative, have expressed their gratitude for the UAE’s effort, which alleviates their struggles in accessing clean drinking water.
The ‘Gallant Knight 3’ humanitarian operation previously announced the successful completion of the full-scale pumping of desalinated water from the UAE’s plants in Rafah to Palestinian people in Gaza. This achievement followed the installation of a 900-meter pipeline extending from the desalination facilities. Subsequently, the Palestinian Water Authority in Refah connected the pipeline to the Gaza water network via the Egyptian borders.
The three operational plants desalinate approximately 600,000 gallons of water daily, which is then transported through pipelines into Gaza to address the needs of roughly 300,000 Palestinians.
The UAE launched the ‘Gallant Knight 3’ humanitarian operation on November 5, 2023, to provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people in Gaza.
