His Majesty King Abdullah on Thursday instructed the concerned authorities to dispatch a military field hospital to Libya to provide medical assistance to the Libyan people.

The hospital will be ready in few days and equipped for various types of surgeries.  It will be administered by staff from the Royal Medical Services, covering all specialties.

The Kingdom dispatched medical and humanitarian aid to Benghazi last April and received a total of 200 injured Libyans in Jordanian hospitals since the crisis began.

Currently, there are Jordanian field hospitals, affiliated with the Jordan Armed Forces, serving in Gaza, Ramallah, Jenin, Congo, Liberia and Afghanistan.
