A French minister reported that a French warship deployed to Egypt to provide medical care for those injured in the Gaza Strip has admitted its initial group of patients.
The Dixmude arrived on Monday in the Egyptian town of El-Arish near the border with Gaza and on Tuesday received the patients, said Sebastien Lecornu, France’s army minister. The vessel is equipped with two operating blocs, 40 beds and 80 medical personnel, he said.
