The UAE floating hospital in Egypt is making significant strides in providing medical care to Palestinians from Gaza.
Recently, the hospital began treating seven additional patients, raising the total to 73 since the Rafah Crossing reopened in early February. This initiative is part of the UAE’s humanitarian efforts under “Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.”
