Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdulla bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud today gave orders to dispatch three fully-equipped and staffed field hospitals to ease the pressure on Egyptian hospitals. The move is aimed at "standing by and supporting the brotherly Egyptian people, and to reduce the pressure on hospitals there," said a Saudi official cited by SPA state news agency. The Saudi monarch yesterday affirmed the kingdom's stance in support of Egypt in its fight against terrorism as well as attempts to target its internal affairs, stressing the ability of Egypt to overcome the current critical period.
