THE organisers of the UAE Floating Hospital in the Egyptian city of Al Arish, as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, arranged a recreational day for the children of Gaza.
The initiative aimed to alleviate the impacts of the war on them and served as a form of psychological and rehabilitative therapy. Mona Talib Ahmed, a nurse at the hospital, said, “We organised several activities for the children to alleviate their psychological and physical suffering. These activities included drawing, Henna, and Holy Qur’an competitions, noting that such activities help in easing their distress.”
She also pointed out that the hospital staff organises weekly events to entertain the children, and they also take them outside the hospital for relaxation. The children interacted with these recreational activities and expressed their gratitude and appreciation to the hospital staff through their drawings, acknowledging their significant efforts in mitigating the effects of the war on them.
Meanwhile, Humanitarian aid began trickling back into the devastated Gaza Strip via a rebuilt, temporary pier, US forces said.
The pier, built by the US military to boost the delivery of direly needed relief supplies, was only briefly operational before it suffered storm damage at the end of May. After repairs, the pipeline was reestablished on June 6.
