Türkiye has made all preparations to establish 20 field hospitals either near the Rafah crossing or at El Arish Airport in Egypt, in order to treat injured Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

Health Minister Fahrettin Koca highlighted that in addition to the field hospitals, a ship hospital is prepared for Gaza, and plans for nearly 40 ambulances are in place to provide medical treatment for wounded Palestinians.

“We are in close dialogue with the Egyptian and Palestinian ministries regarding all of these. We are waiting for security to be ensured and permissions to be given,” He further added on X platform.
