The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has taken a significant step towards aiding Palestinians affected by the conflict with Israel by opening a Prosthetic Limb Centre at its field hospital in the Gaza Strip. This initiative, spearheaded by President Sheikh Mohamed as part of the Gallant Knight 3 humanitarian operation, marks a crucial effort to provide assistance and support to those who have been injured in the ongoing conflict.
The Prosthetic Limb Centre aims to address the pressing needs of Palestinians who have lost limbs or suffered severe injuries during the conflict. By offering prosthetic limbs, the centre seeks to restore mobility and improve the quality of life for individuals grappling with the physical repercussions of violence.
On its opening day, the centre commenced its operations by taking measurements for 36 patients. This swift action highlights the immediate response to the urgent needs of the community. Over the coming days, the initiative is expected to extend its support to over 100 individuals, showcasing the significant impact it will have on the lives of those affected by the conflict.
In addition to providing prosthetic limbs, the centre will offer comprehensive services, including physical therapy and rehabilitation. This holistic approach underscores the commitment to ensuring that patients receive ongoing care and support throughout their recovery process.
The inauguration of the Prosthetic Limb Centre at the UAE field hospital in Gaza exemplifies the nation’s dedication to humanitarian aid and solidarity with the Palestinian people. Through this initiative, the UAE seeks to alleviate the suffering of individuals affected by the conflict and contribute to their rehabilitation and well-being. As efforts continue, the centre stands as a beacon of hope and support for those in need in the Gaza Strip.
