Israel’s military said on Saturday that a new field hospital had been established in the central Gaza Strip and was being run by a non-governmental organization, the International Medical Corp.
“The field hospital will be operated by 150 international medical aid workers, and its dozens of beds can be used for emergency and routine medical treatment,” the military said in a statement.
Israel, facing growing international pressure, says it is boosting the amount of humanitarian aid going into Gaza. Seven other field hospitals have been established since the start of the war in October.
The war was triggered by a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7 in which some 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 people taken hostage.
Israel responded with a military campaign in Gaza aimed at freeing the hostages and destroying Hamas, the Islamist terror group that rules the Palestinian enclave.
