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

 

Amid the ongoing crisis, the United Arab Emirates’ field hospital in Gaza continues to provide essential medical care to the people of Rafah. The medical team, led by orthopedic surgery expert Dr. Saif Al-Mehrzi, has been treating a steady stream of injured women and children, as well as patients with chronic conditions.

Recently, the hospital’s staff successfully removed a metal implant and performed an endoscopy on an inflamed wound for a patient who had complications from surgery last October. This critical operation prevented the patient’s limbs from needing amputation, highlighting the hospital’s crucial role in addressing war-related injuries and their aftermath.

Beyond its own field hospital, the UAE is actively supporting other medical facilities in Gaza through Operation Gallant Knight 3. The UAE recently delivered approximately three tons of medications, treatments, and dressings to the British field hospital in Rafah, which operates under the UK-MED framework. This aid is essential in helping the British hospital meet the needs of displaced people in the “Mawasi Khan Yunis” humanitarian area.

These efforts are part of a broader initiative under Operation Gallant Knight 3, aimed at alleviating the strain on Gaza’s hospitals amid severe shortages of medical supplies. The UAE’s ongoing support includes providing food supplies, tents, and other necessities to displaced individuals across the Gaza Strip.

The UAE remains committed to enhancing humanitarian efforts in the region in collaboration with international organizations such as the World Health Organization. By delivering necessary treatments and medical supplies, the UAE continues to play a vital role in supporting Gaza’s health sector and easing the suffering of those affected by the conflict.
