The United Arab Emirates has urgently begun dispatch of three tons of medical aid to Gaza to aid hospitals suffering from a shortage of medicines in the enclave.
The UAE news agency, WAM, said on Sunday that the supplies include necessary medical items badly needed by the hospitals — including drugs for diabetics.
The UAE is seeking, in coordination with international medical organizations and hospitals, to back up the health sector in Gaza where scores of hospitals could no longer function due to the massive destruction inflicted by the occupation forces.
Abu Dhabi had dispatched medical supplies including 10 ambulance vehicles to Gaza.
So far, it has sent up to 337 tons of medical equipment and drugs to the war-battered enclave.
