AMMAN — Personnel of the Jordanian field hospital, dubbed Gaza/79, on Tuesday arrived in the northern Gaza Strip to perform their humanitarian and medical duties in assisting the people of the war-torn strip.

The medical teams were accompanied by trucks carrying medical and humanitarian aid. Upon arrival, the personnel immediately began taking the necessary steps to perform their duties and carry out their tasks, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. 

The hospital includes medical specialisations supervised by "specialised, qualified, and highly competent" teams.

The personnel of the Jordanian field hospital Gaza/78 had returned to the Kingdom after completing their duty, with the Gaza/79 teams taking over their mission.

Jordan runs two military field hospitals in Gaza, one in the strip’s north, which was established in 2009 following the Hamas-Israel war in 2008.
