ICRC has deployed a field hospital to Gaza, supported by multiple National Societies. The deployment is coordinated by the Norwegian Red Cross. Finnish Red Cross (FRC) is participating with materials and personnel. The hospital opened for patients on 8th of May.
The field hospital is a continuation of more than 15 years of ICRC healthcare support in Gaza. ICRC teams have been providing surgical services at the European Gaza Hospital, and supporting other hospitals through medical donations where they´ve supported thousands of patients since the escalation of the conflict.
Kindly see this short Youtube video of the ICRC from here.
Kindly also see our latest updates and public announcement of the hospital from the FRC web pages here.
We are currently working on next rotations to be deployed to support the field hospital operation.
