Two more patients from Gaza are being treated at the UAE floating hospital in Egypt's Al Arish.

This takes the total number of Gazans being treated since the reopening of the Rafah border crossing in February to 85.

The hospital was set up as part of UAE's humanitarian efforts under "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3".

Managed by a specialised Emirati team and supported by an Indonesian medical team, the hospital, which started operations in 2024, continues to provide round-the-clock healthcare services to support Palestinians under the current difficult conditions.

It provides comprehensive healthcare services, including diagnostics, surgeries, physiotherapy and dialysis, through a specialised medical system.
