Gazans were curious when the construction would begin. They said it was very spectacular because Indonesia Hospital provides the best health services in North Gaza.
Two days ago, the MER-C Team met with Dr. Yousif H. Abu El Reesh, Deputy Minister of Health in his office in Gaza. During the visit, the ministry presented data on the important position of Indonesian Hospital for Gazans, especially in conflict situations.

In the meantime, the process of working on the structure can be done as soon as possible because it only follows the structure below it, “Faried said.
The complete techniques will be discussed with Palestinian Ministry of Health staff including restrictions on work areas, material entry and exit, and other mechanisms to ensure that hospital health services are functioning. (T/Sj/P2)
