French warship that treated up to 1000 Gazans calls in Malta

The French military carrier, the Dixmude (L9015), has called in Malta after having spent months in Gaza treating up to 1000 patients. It was previously stationed in Al-Arish just 50km away from Gaza.

Gaza is currently going through its worst humanitarian crisis ever recorded as 2.2 million are at risk of famine and more than 66,000 people have been injured according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. This humanitarian crisis may be exacerbated as governments cut funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency after a handful of its employees were found to have participated in the October 7th attacks.

    Pity the public is not allowed to tour these engineering marvels. And pity so few call in at Malta’s beautiful Grand Harbour. Gone are the days we would center our Sunday outing around a visit to the HMS Ark Royal or HMS Broadsword or spending a whole morning queuing to board the USS America. Children have no idea why we need military. Why warships are needed to protect freedom of shipping for example. Only time will tell when the proverbial crap hits the fan how good our younger generation will be at defending freedom. Right now they just take it for granted. I suspect they are oblivious what the word really implies.
