Jerteh

Jerteh, also spelled Jertih, is a town in Besut District in the state of Terengganu, Malaysia. The English Wikipedia article describes it as the most populous town in Besut District and places it between the towns of Besut and Kuala Berang. It is the site of Hospital Besut, which the article calls the largest hospital in the district, and the town is part of a seat in the Malaysian House of Representatives. The source article is short and gives no population figure, area, elevation or founding date for the town, so this entry records only what the lead of that article supports and leaves the other facts open for a later source.
