Under the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Major General Yusef Ahmed Hunaiti, directed the Directorate of Military Housing and Works, in coordination with the Royal Medical Services Directorate, to start immediately equipping a new military field hospital in the Gaza strip.
Hunaiti also instructed to equip the hospital with the highest medical specifications, similar to the hospitals that were established in the cities of Zarqa and Irbid, to support the medical efforts of the Jordanian military field hospital as a result of the current conditions in the strip that led to hundreds of victims and injuries.
The hospital includes 100 beds, in addition to an emergency department, major, medium and small operating rooms, and will be supported with all the necessary medical staff, to contribute to providing medical and therapeutic services, conducting surgeries and providing the necessary health care.
Equipping this hospital comes from the Arab army’s noble humanitarian role, including dispatching field hospitals and surgical stations in many countries of the world in which human or natural disasters occur, to provide aid and support to them.
Yesterday, the armed forces reinforced the Jordanian field hospital in Gaza with a mobile field hospital equipped with all tasks, medical equipment and medical personnel necessary to support the medical efforts in the Strip.
