AMMAN — Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Monday thanked Jordan for the assistance it provides to the Palestinians in the besieged coastal enclave.

In a statement on Monday, commemorating the 10 years since the establishment of Jordan’s field hospital in Gaza, Haniyeh highlighted the hospital’s humanitarian efforts and Jordan’s assistance to the long-suffering residents of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Haniyeh, Hamas’ politburo chief, also voiced appreciation for Jordan’s support, His Majesty King Abdullah and the Jordanian people as a whole, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The field hospital was established in 2009, and has since treated over 1.9 million patients.

Gaza has been under Israeli siege since June 2007.

In the past few years, Jordan has dispatched several military field hospitals to various areas in need, such as Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt and the West Bank to assist in providing healthcare and treatment to local residents.
