Jordan field hospital crew arrives in northern Gaza

Jordan announced that the Jordanian field hospital crews, dubbed Gaza/79, arrived on Tuesday in the northern Gaza Strip for the first time since Israel started its ruthless war against the besieged enclave on 7 October.

Personnel of the Gaza/79 field hospital arrived in the northern Gaza Strip to perform their humanitarian and medical duties in assisting the people of the war-torn Strip, Amman said yesterday.

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 personnel of the Jordanian field hospital Gaza/78 had returned to the kingdom after completing their duties, 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 Israel’s 2008 war on the enclave.

The second was established in Khan Yunis in the south in November 2023 one month into the Israeli aggression on the coastal enclave.
