Amman, May 20 (Petra) – Local figures in Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip visited the Jordanian Field Hospital on Tuesday to welcome new staff and thank them for their efforts to provide medical and humanitarian care to the people of Gaza.

Welcomed by the hospital's commander, director, and staff members, the local leaders expressed appreciation for and pride in the longstanding and unwavering support of Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II, for the steadfastness of the Palestinian people under all circumstances.

They hailed the Kingdom's exceptional efforts, noting that Jordan was the first to break the blockade by launching land and air bridges to transport relief and medical aid, under royal directives.

"That was a real lifeline for the people of Gaza", they said, commending medical, nursing, and technical staff of the field hospital for their professionalism to alleviate the suffering of the wounded and sick.

The Gaza/10 field hospital's commander pledged that staff will provide the highest level of medical aid to their brothers and sisters in Gaza.
