President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that France was sending a navy ship to support the Gaza Strip’s hospitals which are at risk of collapsing under Israel’s bombing and siege.

The ship would “leave Toulon in the next 48 hours”, the French leader said during a joint news conference in Cairo with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

France would also send a planeload of medical equipment to Egypt to be transported into the war-torn Palestinian territory.
