A UAE field hospital will also operate in Turkey’s Hatay province to take care of earthquake victims. Turkey’s ambassador to the UAE revealed that one field hospital that the UAE sent would go to Hatay. 

The UAE sent cargo planes to Turkey and Syria, carrying search and rescue teams and medical equipment, as part of the country’s Gallant Knight 2 operation.
