Turkish hospital ship arrives in Egypt to help Palestinians

Türkiye constantly assists Gaza.

A hospital ship that departed Izmir's Alsancak port on November 9 to render assistance to Gaza arrived at the Egyptian port of Al Arish on November 13 morning, according to TRT Haber.

The ship has been fully equipped with medical supplies. There are field hospitals with operating rooms and intensive care rooms resistant to any climate conditions.

Earlier, a ship carrying life-saving humanitarian aid for Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip from Türkiye left from the Aegean province of Izmir on November 10.

Medical supplies and ambulances were loaded onto the cargo ship, which anchored at Izmir’s Alsancak Port late on November 9.

After the loading was completed, the ship left port to head to Al Arish, Egypt, close to Egypt’s Rafah border crossing into the embattled enclave.

Nearly 500 tons of aid equipment, including medicine, medical devices, eight field hospitals, 20 ambulances, and medical consumables, will be delivered to Gaza through Egypt, as previously announced by Health Minister Fahrettin Koca.
