Supply Convoy Arrives at Gaza Field Hospital

Amman, 08 Jumadal Awwal 1437/17 February 2016 (MINA) – A supply convoy for the Jordanian field hospital in Gaza arrived in the coastal enclave on Monday, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Gaza 40 Commander Col. Ibrahim Masaafeh said the convoy is made up of seven trucks laden with medical supplies required to sustain the hospital’s work.

In addition, some trucks brought food parcels from the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation to be distributed to underprivileged families in the strip, according to Masaafeh.

Jordan has dispatched several field hospitals to conflict zones and areas affected by natural disasters across the world such as Iraq, the West Bank, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Haiti, Indonesia, Congo, Liberia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sierra Leone, and Pakistan.

The Kingdom’s field hospitals have extended aid to some one million people in the West Bank and 55,000 in Lebanon. (R07/R01)
