Over 2,000 Egyptian Volunteers to Provide Medical Aid for Palestinians
Egyptian doctors are prepared to enter Gaza to provide care for the injured after the ceasefire deal.
In support of relief efforts, registration has opened for Egyptian doctors willing to volunteer in Gaza. Over 2,000 Egyptian doctors have expressed their readiness to enter the Gaza Strip and provide care for the injured, according to the Egyptian Doctors Syndicate.
At the Rafah border crossing, Egyptian Minister of Health Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar confirmed the availability of vaccines for polio, measles, rubella and mumps to vaccinate Palestinian children arriving from Gaza. The minister also stated that Egypt is prepared to receive and treat wounded Palestinians, and deploy medical teams to Gaza if requested, with a comprehensive map of health service locations in the Gaza Strip already in place.
Over the weekend, Abdel-Ghaffar, alongside Minister of Solidarity Maya Morsy, inspected the ambulance assembly and medical equipment at Rafah in preparation for transporting injured Palestinians. The facility is equipped with remote temperature detection devices, blood sugar monitors, and other medical tools.
The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, mediated by Egypt, the United States and Qatar, is set to take effect on January 19th.
