Saudi King Abdullah ordered the dispatch of three fully-equipped field hospitals to Egypt

Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah ordered  the dispatch of three fully-equipped field hospitals to Egypt, a day after backing Cairo in its deadly crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood protesters.

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 state news agency SPA on Saturday.
The hospitals will come with a full staff of doctors and technicians, the unnamed official said.
King Abdullah pledged on Friday the kingdom's support to Egypt's fight on "terrorism", as the army and security forces continued a bloody crackdown on supporters of deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.
