The Regent conveyed
the greetings of His Majesty King Abdullah II, the Supreme Commander of the
Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF), to the 182-member hospital crew.
HRH said all Jordanians are proud of the mission’s humanitarian role in light of
the painful and catastrophic reality that Gazans are facing, stressing that the
Israeli aggression against Gaza, as well as the suspension of services and the
blockade of aid are a violation of international and humanitarian laws.
The Crown Prince
praised the high morale of the field hospital's team, in line with the
principles of the JAF, in defending the nation’s causes and supporting the
Palestinian brethren.
For his part, Col.
Khatib thanked King Abdullah and HRH for checking on the field
hospital's staff.
Established in 2009
under His Majesty’s directives, the field hospital is served by specialists and
staff supported by the latest technologies, and it is the first Arab field
hospital in Gaza.
The Jordanian field
hospital in Gaza has so far treated nearly 1.6 million patients, and has
carried out 45,000 surgeries, including 4,500 major operations.
