The UAE floating hospital in Egypt's Al Arish has started treating seven more patients from the Gaza Strip.

It brings the total number of Palestinians being treated at the hospital since the reopening of the Rafah Crossing in early February to 73.

The hospital was set up as part of UAE's humanitarian efforts under "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3".

The hospital provides comprehensive healthcare services, including diagnostics, surgeries, physiotherapy and dialysis, through a specialised medical system.

The facility is operated by an Emirati medical and administrative team, supported by an Indonesian medical team, working round-the-clock to ensure uninterrupted services.
