The United Arab Emirates will set up a field hospital with a 150-bed capacity in the Gaza Strip to deliver essential medical treatment to Palestinian people, the country's state-run news agency said late Monday .
Five aircrafts carrying supplies and equipment for the medical facility departed from Abu Dhabi and will unload their cargo at the al-Arish airport in Egypt, before being transported to the Gaza Strip — likely by truck, through the Rafah crossing. The UAE previously announced $20 million of urgent aid to the Palestinian people and an initiative to bring approximately 1,000 Palestinian children from the Gaza Strip, alongside their families, for medical treatment in the UAE.
