In Dubai, U.A.E., President Mohamed bin Zayed has directed Emirati authorities to establish a field hospital in Gaza, reports the Times of Israel, citing the U.A.E.’s WAM news agency. The hospital will be “established in multiple stages and include departments for general surgery, orthopedics, pediatrics and gynecology in addition to anesthesia and intensive care units catering to both children and adults,” the report adds. “The facility will also house clinics for internal medicine, dentistry, psychiatry, and family medicine. Supplementary services will include CT imaging, a laboratory, a pharmacy and other medical support functions.”
“The initiative reflects the U.A.E.’s historic stance of support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, particularly in light of the challenging circumstances currently being faced,” the state report says.
