The ship, which docked earlier today, is carrying the equipment necessary to set up field hospitals on the Egyptian side of the border with Gaza.
Some 500 tonnes of aid equipment has been shipped, according to Anadolu Agency, including medicine, medical devices, and 20 ambulances.
“The main issue here is going to be how do you get Palestinians [in] Gaza, not just from the north to the south, but how do you get them to cross through the Rafah crossing to these field hospitals,” said Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut, reporting from occupied East Jerusalem. “Turkey has said that it is going to set up these hospitals quickly and they have received approval from the Egyptian government to do so, but again the issue remains on how the Palestinian patients are going to be transported to those field hospitals.”
