Syrian earthquake survivors arrive in the UAE for medical treatment

Syrian earthquake survivors arrive in the UAE for medical treatment

 Ten Syrian survivors of the February 6 destructive earthquake have arrived in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) to receive crucial medical treatment.

Emirates Crescent, the humanitarian arm of the UAE government, pledged to help earthquake survivors. Reportedly, the earthquake survivors were transported on a special evacuation flight that included doctors, anesthesiologists, technicians and paramedics. Emirates Crescent in partnership with the Syrian Ministry of Health carried out the mission.

Hamdan Al Mazrouei, chairman of the board of directors of ERC, said that they made arrangements to receive the first batch of earthquake survivors and their families. The UAE would provide hospital beds and accommodation to earthquake survivors. The UAE would also treat injured children who required special care.

The UAE has been providing support to earthquake survivors under the Joint Operations Command of the Ministry of Defence's Operation Gallant Knight/2. 

The UAE also announced building camps for refugees in Syria and Turkey. A health delegation from various medical authorities in the UAE would also visit Syria to provide medical assistance to earthquake survivors. 

Under Operation Gallant Knight/2, around 134 rescuers were sent to Syria and Turkey to continue search-and-rescue operations in the region affected by the earthquake. The UAE also sent 3,772 tonnes of food and medical supplies to Syria and Turkey. Operation Gallant Knight/2 also involved a humanitarian air bridge and 136 flights. The UAE also opened two field hospitals in Turkey to help earthquake survivors. 

The Joint Operations Command of the Ministry of Defence of the UAE launched the operation when the powerful earthquake hit Turkey and Syria earlier this month. The President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, directed the team to help people in Turkey and Syria. The Emirati rescue team evacuated many people who were lying under the collapsed buildings.
