AMMAN — New personnel of the Jordanian field hospital in Nablus on Wednesday evening arrived in the West Bank city to provide medical and humanitarian care to Palestinians.

 

Dispatched under Royal directives, the hospital includes medical cadres specialised in various fields, including general surgery, internal medicine, paediatrics, ophthalmology, dentistry, and emergency medicine, alongside nursing and technical staff, according to a Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) statement.

 

The deployment of these teams is a continuation of the humanitarian and medical role undertaken by JAF to support the Palestinian people.

 

Meanwhile, the former personnel of the field hospital arrived in the Kingdom on Thursday after completing their mission.

 

The outgoing team provided medical services to 29,631 patients and performed more than 280 major and minor surgeries for residents of Nablus and neighbouring areas.

 

The Jordanian field hospital in Nablus was established in late November 2023.

 

Jordan also runs two military field hospitals in Gaza, one in the Strip's north and was established in 2009 following the war in 2008, and the second is in Khan Younis in the south, which was established in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli war of aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7, 2023.

 

Other humanitarian programmes include the land bridge for aid delivery, the Restoring Hope Initiative, which provides prosthetics for amputees, and the evacuation of critical cases to Jordanian hospitals.
