Staff at the UAE Floating Hospital in Egypt's Al-Arish marked Eid Al Fitr early for Gazan children receiving treatment at the facility.
Part of the broader Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 humanitarian campaign, the initiative aims to bring joy and comfort to Palestinians affected by the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The young patients were handed gifts and festive attire, with their families thanking the hospital staff for their dedication and compassion.
Since it became operational last February, the hospital has provided over 8,300 medical services, performed more than 3,100 surgeries across various specialities, delivered over 3,500 physiotherapy sessions, and fitted 23 prosthetic limbs for Palestinians.
It is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of Emirati medical and administrative professionals and is equipped with 100 beds for patients, along with an additional 100 beds for companions. It features advanced medical equipment, including operating rooms, intensive care units, radiology facilities, and laboratories.
In addition to the Emirati team, an Indonesian medical team comprising specialised doctors and surgeons also contributes to the hospital’s operations.
