The UAE Floating Hospital in Egypt's Al Arish has admitted 10 more patients from the Gaza Strip over the last three days.

The admissions, included cases with varying medical conditions and injuries, national news agency Wam reported.

The floating hospital, which is equipped with specialised departments including general surgery, emergency medicine, anaesthesia and nursing, supported by comprehensive laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy services, has been supporting Gazans for the past two years.

Dr. Ali Saeed Al Kaabi, Director of the UAE Floating Hospital, said patient admissions have continued since the reopening of the Rafah crossing.

He said the hospital remains fully prepared to receive additional patients from Gaza and deliver the necessary treatment.

The efforts are part of the UAE’s broader medical support framework under "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3," which includes operating field hospitals, deploying air and sea bridges to deliver medical supplies, and providing medicines and equipment in coordination with official authorities and humanitarian partners.
