GAZA — Gaza government officials on Sunday commended the services offered by Jordan’s military field hospital in the coastal enclave to alleviate the suffering of its residents.

During a visit to the hospital’s premises, Fathi Hammad, the minister of interior and national security in the Hamas government, thanked Jordan for the support it has continued to offer over the past five years through the field hospital.

Gaza Health Minister Mufeed Mkhallalati, who accompanied Hammad, said the hospital’s teams receive hundreds of cases on a daily basis.

“We cannot forget this kind gesture from Jordan, which has...

had a direct impact in supporting our health sector,” Mkhallalati added.

The hospital’s leader, Saleh Awamleh, welcomed the delegation and highlighted the facility’s achievements.

The field hospital was established on January 26, 2009 upon Royal directives, he said.
