AMMAN - Personnel of the Jordanian field hospital, dubbed Gaza/79, on Tuesday arrived in the northern Gaza Strip to perform their humanitarian and medical duties in assisting the people of the war-torn strip.
The medical teams were accompanied by trucks carrying medical and humanitarian aid. Upon arrival, the personnel immediately began taking the necessary steps to perform their duties and carry out their tasks, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The hospital includes medical specialisations supervised by "specialised, qualified, and highly competent" teams.
The personnel of the Jordanian field hospital Gaza/78 had returned to the Kingdom after completing their duty, with the Gaza/79 teams taking over their mission.
Jordan runs two military field hospitals in Gaza, one in the strip's north, which was established in 2009 following the Hamas-Israel war in 2008.
The second was established in Khan Younis in the south in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7.
Besides the field hospitals in Gaza, the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army established the Jordanian field hospital in Nablus in late November 2023 and has conducted over 900 surgeries and received more than 83,000 patients ever since.
The Kingdom has also established two health centres in Ramallah and Jenin, serving tens of thousands of patients in the West Bank.
