CAIRO: Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) and Egyptian Red Crescent (ERC) signed an agreement Saturday to establish a field hospital in the Gaza Strip at a cost of over two million dollars. The agreement was signed by KRCS Vice President Anwar Al-Hasawi and ERC CEO Dr Rami Al-Nazer at the headquarters in Cairo in the presence of Kuwaiti Ambassador Ghanim Al-Ghanim.

The 35-bed, 750-square-meter project will be completed within a three-week period, according to the agreement. The project is an immediate response to the disastrous and deteriorating health situation in Gaza due to occupation forces bombing multiple hospitals. KRCS’ delegation visited the Rafah border crossing last Tuesday to follow the entry of 35 trucks loaded with 490 tons of urgent humanitarian, medical, and relief aid in cooperation with the ERC.

Meanwhile, Zionist warplanes bombed multiple sites in the Gaza Strip, focusing on the Khan Yunis Governorate, south of the Strip. Gunboats and artillery also participated in targeting residential areas. The Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) said Saturday that the occupation jets destroyed the Abdullah Azzam Mosque west of Khan Yunis and also targeted four houses in Al-Qarara and bombed the Al-Istiqama, Osama bin Zaid, and Othman bin Affan Mosques.

At least 190 citizens, most of them women and children, have been martyred since Friday morning after the end of the humanitarian truce, it added. For its part, the Journalists Syndicate announced that 67 journalists and workers in the media sector were killed due to the occupation’s continued aggression against the Strip since October 7. — KUNA
