President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is ready to establish a Russian hospital in the Gaza Strip, according to AlQAhera News.

Putin spoke, according to RT, about the great efforts he is making to establish a Russian field hospital in Rafah, Egypt, in cooperation with the Egyptian side.

He continued: "It turned out that the UAE side had established a field hospital on Gaza territory near the Rafah crossing, and we talked about the possibility of Russia opening such a hospital, but it must obtain the approval of Egypt and Israel."

The residents of Gaza are suffering from a severe scarcity, almost a complete lack of food supplies, due to the siege imposed on them, and the inability of aid to arrive, in addition to their inability to withdraw money from disrupted ATMs, after the widespread incursion of occupation forces.
