Turkey is undertaking the mission of a ship-hospital to Gaza, as stated by the Turkish Minister of Health, Fahrettin Koca, stressing that it is ready and all they are waiting for is permission.
Turkey also plans to set up a field hospital at the Rafah border gate and is trying to deliver aid to the area with A400M transport aircraft known as "Koca Yusuf".
“As you know, we have a hospital ship ready for Gaza. We have scheduled the dispatch of almost 40 ambulances, which are ready to join the mission. We have sent incubators, ventilators and many generators, small and large, with 8 planes. A health team of 20 people is already there. We have made all our preparations to set up 20 field hospitals both in the area near the Rafah border gate and El Arish airport. We are in constant contact with the Egyptian and Palestinian Ministries of Health regarding all of this. We are waiting for security to be secured and permits to be issued. If permission is granted, we are ready to immediately start sending health personnel and services," the Turkish health minister said.
