The wounds of war are clearly visible for large numbers of Palestinians taking refuge in Abu Dhabi's Emirates Humanitarian City.
The psychological scars Palestinians have incurred are, however, often hidden from plain sight and more difficult to heal. This is why a network of mental health support is in place in Abu Dhabi so the heavy burden is not carried alone.
About 2,000 patients are being housed at EHC as part of the UAE's continuing humanitarian operations in solidarity with the Palestinians. About medical 150 appointments are carried out each day within the vast complex, not including those admitted to hospitals in the capital for complex surgery.
A separate building at EHC features a pharmacy, clinics, a ward with hospital beds staffed by doctors, pediatricians, an internal medicine doctor, psychiatrists, dentists and a rehabilitation specialist.
EHC has a medical team of more than 50 doctors, nurses, therapists and administrators. A school serving more than 400 children has also been established at the EHC to support Gazans living there.
