Union of physicians in Jordan to send medical team to Gaza

AMMAN, (PIC)-- The Jordanian union of physicians said it would send a delegation of specialized doctors to the Gaza Strip to help the wounded and support the steadfastness of the Palestinian people there. In a press release on Wednesday, the union affirmed that it coordinated with the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza to delegate a team of medical specialists including surgeons to help relieve the suffering of patients and war victims. It noted that it started to receive financial and in-kind donations in order to send humanitarian assistance to the Gaza people.
