ABU DHABI, July 15 (Bernama-WAM) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) urgently provided three tonnes of medical supplies and a variety of medicines to support the healthcare sector and hospitals still operating in Gaza Strip, following the recent events and developments in Khan Younis, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.
This response came after calls from the health sector, including Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, highlighting a shortage of medicines. The aim is to ensure the continued provision of medical services to the injured, patients, and displaced people.
The medical aid includes essential medical supplies for hospitals facing shortages, medicines for treating various injuries, insulin for diabetic patients, and other resources to bolster the healthcare system during this critical situation.
The UAE, in coordination with various hospitals and international medical organisations, aims to enhance the healthcare situation in Gaza Strip after its deterioration due to the war, which resulted in dozens of hospitals going out of service due to destruction and a lack of sufficient medicines and medical supplies to continue providing medical services to patients and the injured in various areas of Gaza Strip.
The UAE has provided a series of medical assistance to hospitals in Gaza Strip, including 10 ambulances equipped with all modern capabilities.
The total amount of assistance sent by the country has reached 337 tonnes, including medical devices, medicines, and essential supplies for the Health Ministry to increase the capacity within medical care institutions and hospitals.
