ROME, Italy– Italy is sending a hospital ship to the Middle East to aid the Palestinian population, which is expected to arrive 'in a couple of days', the defence ministry told AFP Thursday.
Palestinians families fleeing Gaza City and other parts of northern Gaza towards the southern areas, walk along a highway on November 9, 2023, amid the ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas. Thousands of Palestinians were fleeing on foot November 8, in a surge away from the fighting and intense bombardment in Gaza as Israel said it was tightening the"stranglehold" around Hamas.
It is expected to arrive"in a couple of days, weather permitting", a defence ministry spokesman told AFP, without confirming how close the ship would get to Gaza.
