JMA says field hospital for Gaza in the works as healthcare system on verge of collapse
AMMAN — The Jordan Medical Association (JMA) has announced its preparations to establish a field hospital at a cost of JD2 million for rapid deployment to Gaza, with the aim of aiding the "collapsing" medical sector in Gaza.
These efforts are taking place at a time when the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has declared a crisis. Hospitals are facing shortages in clinical, pharmaceutical and fuel resources due to the escalated Israeli bombardment.
