A Turkish aid ship carrying field hospitals for the Gaza Strip arrived at the port of Al-Arish (Egypt), which is close to the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip, according to a port official speaking to AFP. This is the first aid ship carrying field hospitals for Gaza to reach Egypt amid reports that all hospitals in the Gaza governorate are out of service, as stated by the health ministry affiliated with Hamas. The Turkish health ministry confirmed that "the ship that arrived at Al-Arish is carrying equipment, supplies, and ambulances to establish eight field hospitals."
