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.
