The recent arrivals are part of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s initiative to offer medical care to 1,000 injured children and 1,000 cancer patients from Gaza. They were accompanied by a team from the national news agency WAM. Families were interviewed upon their arrival as they commended the UAE’s unique approach to addressing the urgent humanitarian needs of Palestinians.

UAE hospitals have treated 474 Palestinian children and cancer patients, with a total of 3,575 cases attended to at the UAE field hospital in Gaza.
