(Adnkronos) – Indonesia will set up a medical facility on an uninhabited island to treat two thousand Gazans injured in the war against Israel. This was announced by the spokesman for the Indonesian president, Hasan Nabi, quoted by local agencies, according to whom Jakarta “will provide medical assistance to about two thousand residents of Gaza who are victims of the war, who are injured and have been buried under the rubble”. The facility will be set up on the island of Galang, which already housed a UN refugee camp for Vietnamese asylum seekers off Sumatra and a hospital during the Covid pandemic. Temporary accommodation will also be given to the relatives of the injured and everyone will be brought back to Gaza once the treatment is completed, the spokesman added, without providing further details on the timing of the plan or how the repatriation of the injured will take place. “This is not an evacuation,” Nabi said. “It’s just to treat them. Once they have recovered and completed their treatment, they will return to Gaza.”
