 The Emirati Field Hospital in Gaza commenced its medical services on Sunday, welcoming its first two Palestinian patients suffering from severe fractures.

He suffers from a fracture in the right ankle and an open wound in the right knee, resulting from the fall of heavy concrete during the ongoing fighting in the Gaza Strip. The patient required urgent surgical intervention to stabilise the fracture and was accompanied by his uncle to the Emirati hospital.

The second case received is a 13-year-old teenager, Osama Barhoum, who was transferred from the European Gaza Hospital. He suffers from an open fracture in the right thigh caused by a missile fragment and requires surgical intervention to stabilise the fracture. The patient arrived at the hospital with a companion.

The specialised Emirati medical team in the field hospital in Gaza, consisting of qualified professionals in various medical fields, immediately dealt with both cases.
