Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto announced on Wednesday that his country will send a hospital ship near the coast of Gaza to help treat victims of the Israeli aggression on Palestinians.
According to the minister, the ship is set to leave on Wednesday from the western Italian port of Civitavecchia with one hundred and seventy staff, which includes thirty people trained for medical emergencies.
The minister also added that Italy was working to send a field hospital to Gaza, and the two Italian naval vessels already sent to the region were likely to remain in place.
“We will evaluate whether to keep them in the area but I prefer to keep three ships there and not to have any regrets,” Crosetto’s words.
