The UAE Floating Hospital in Egypt's Al-Arish has started treating five new patients from Gaza under the Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 campaign to offer critical medical care to those injured in the conflict.

It takes the total number of patients undergoing treatment at the UAE Floating Hospital to 90 since the reopening of the Rafah Crossing last February.

Patients are treated through an integrated medical system that includes examinations, diagnosis and treatment, in addition to performing surgical operations, providing physical therapy sessions and kidney dialysis services.

The hospital is supervised by a specialised Emirati medical and administrative staff, assisted by an Indonesian medical team to ensure the continuity of medical services and to deal with various cases with high efficiency.
