Jordan initiates medical evacuation of 2,000 sick children from Gaza


Following royal directives, Jordan has initiated the "Jordanian Medical Corridor – Gaza" initiative to evacuate 2,000 sick children from the Gaza Strip and transfer them to hospitals in Jordan for treatment.

This initiative comes as part of Jordan's continued humanitarian efforts in response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza. It is being carried out in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).

In line with other aid efforts, such as the recent launch of the air bridge to deliver life-saving medical supplies to Gaza, the evacuation of the children will occur in phases.

Patients and their family companions will be transported using ambulances and buses provided by the Jordanian Armed Forces. If necessary, military helicopters will be used for air evacuations based on the medical needs of each child.

The children will receive specialized treatment in both public and private hospitals in Jordan, where medical teams will provide the necessary care. As part of the arrangement, each child will be allowed to be accompanied by up to two family members during their treatment.
