A delegation from the World Health Organisation (WHO) has visited the UAE field hospital in the Gaza Strip, as part of efforts to strengthen cooperation in supporting the health sector amid its humanitarian challenges.
The delegation was led by Gaza-based medic Dr. Luca Pigozzi, WHO Emergency Medical Team Coordinator, who reviewed the services provided by the hospital to the wounded and injured, as well as its available medical capabilities.
During the visit, the delegation praised the significant role played by the UAE through the field hospital, describing it as an effective model for emergency humanitarian response in crisis areas.
As part of its ongoing support, the UAE, in cooperation with the WHO, delivered a new convoy of medicines and a variety of medical supplies to hospitals in Gaza, aimed at enhancing the capacity of the health system and meeting urgent needs.
Approximately three weeks ago, under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, two medical convoys were also sent out, dedicated to supporting hospitals in the Strip, in addition to another convoy delivered directly to Gaza hospitals.
The Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 underscores that strengthening the health sector in Gaza remains a top priority within the UAE’s humanitarian efforts, in line with its steadfast approach to supporting the Palestinian people and providing medical assistance to patients in the Strip.
