The UAE receives the 16th batch of wounded Palestinian children and cancer patients
Abu Dhabi, April 27 / WAM / The 16th batch of wounded Palestinian children and cancer patients arrived in the Emirates, at dawn today, which includes 25 of those in need of treatment and medical care, in addition to 51 accompanying families.
After the plane, coming from the Egyptian Al-Arish Airport, landed at Zayed International Airport, the medical teams worked to transfer the wounded and injured whose conditions required immediate care to hospitals to receive treatment, while the rest of the cases and their companions were transferred to the Emirates Humanitarian City, their residence.
The initiative comes in implementation of the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, “may God protect him,” to provide treatment and health care to 1,000 wounded Palestinian children and 1,000 people suffering from cancer from the Gaza Strip in state hospitals.
Hospitals in the UAE will provide patients with cancer with the highest levels of health care, embodying the directives of the country’s wise leadership.
The families of the sick and wounded expressed their thanks and appreciation to the UAE and its wise leadership for this noble humanitarian initiative, which constitutes a unique model of solidarity and collaboration between sister countries.
They stressed that the UAE was and continues to be the first to extend a helping hand and relief to the Palestinian people and support them in all circumstances, appreciating the efforts of the medical and volunteer teams that provided full support to them.
Since the beginning of the crisis in the Gaza Strip, the UAE has rushed to provide all forms of humanitarian and relief aid and supplies to the brotherly Palestinian people, within the framework of the “Gallant Knight 3” humanitarian operation.
The UAE has strengthened its efforts to treat sick and injured Palestinians by establishing a field hospital inside the Gaza Strip with a capacity of more than 150 beds. It also established the UAE floating hospital in the Egyptian port of Arish, which can accommodate 100 beds and includes operating rooms, intensive care, radiology, a laboratory, a pharmacy, and medical warehouses.
