Gaza – Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are setting up the first field hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip to help wounded and sick Palestinians, those injured by the Hamas-Israel war or displaced from Gaza’s six hospitals given worsening conditions and their use by Hamas terrorists.
Forty trucks of equipment and 180 doctors and nurses sent from Jordan began entering southern Gaza through neighboring Egypt on November 20 and are expected to set up a field hospital in Khan Younis within 48 hours, as reported from FDD site.

Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein was in Egypt's El-Arish to oversee the arrival and dispatch of the airlifted goods and staff.
Jordan has previously air-dropped supplies to a hospital it sponsors in Gaza City and is separately setting up a field hospital in the West Bank city of Nablus - a signal that it wants to help provide treatment for Gazan casualties within Palestinian territory, rather than see them travel abroad.
Gaza officials also said they would host an Emirati delegation sent to scout out locations for the field hospital being sponsored by Abu Dhabi, which has separately flown in a small number of wounded Palestinian children for treatment.
Israel has earmarked Mawasi, a barren area on the southwest Gazan coast, as a safe zone for Palestinian war refugees.
