The UAE Floating Hospital in Egypt's Al-Arish has started the treatment for 11 new patients from the Gaza Strip.

It takes the total number of patients undergoing treatment at the UAE Floating Hospital to 115 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 was set up under the UAE's Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 campaign to offer critical medical care to those injured in the conflict.
