The aircraft will transport the wounded Palestinian evacuees to Indonesia for treatment at Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital (RSPAD) and Jenderal Besar Soedirman National Defense Central Hospital.
These two Jakarta-based hospitals could receive up to 1,000 patients and all injured Palestinian evacuees would be offered the best medical care and post-trauma treatment.
The TNI is also ready to deliver further humanitarian supplies for Gaza, including a hospital ship, as long as a ceasefire has been implemented and the Indonesian military has received a UN mandate.
At the recent IISS Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Indonesia's Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, who is also President-elect, cited President Joko Widodo's instruction to him to evacuate around 1,000 injured Gaza evacuees to Indonesia.
