JAKARTA - The floating hospital of the Arab Emierat Union (UAE) in Al Arish City, Egypt, held an event for children and patients from Gaza to celebrate Eid al-Adha, by providing periods of relief and celebration in the midst of war trauma.
The event, organized by medical staff, volunteers, and support teams, featured facial painting, games and the distribution of Eid al-Adha prizes for their patients and families.
This initiative aims to provide psychological support, rehabilitation therapy, and raise the spirits of those receiving treatment on hospital ships.
"This initiative is proof of hospital humanitarian messages to increase morality and happiness for patients and their families on board," said Director of UAE Floating Hospital Dr. Omran Mohammed Alefari, quoted from The National News June 7.
"It is important to provide a comprehensive medical environment and support for patients, especially in days like this," he continued.
The floating hospital with a capacity of 100 beds sailed from the UAE in February last year and docked at Al Arish port, Egypt as part of the 'Gallant Knight 3 Operation'.
At Al Arish port in Egypt, the hospital accepts patients through the Rafah border and is part of a broader humanitarian effort ordered by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed, as a rescue route for Palestinians affected by the conflict.
His humanitarian efforts are part of the UAE's mission to ease the suffering of the injured and sick in the midst of the terrible circumstances facing Palestinians in Gaza.
The hospital has provided medical services for thousands of patients since the launch of its services for Palestinians.
