AMMAN — Jordan on Sunday received the 14th group of child patients under the “Jordan Medical Corridor” initiative, launched to support the Palestinian people and help alleviate their suffering.

 

The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) said that it had evacuated 34 patients and 78 accompanying relatives, who will receive treatment in Jordanian hospitals in coordination with the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO), according to a JAF statement.

 

Since the initiative’s launch in March 2025, Jordan has evacuated a total of 911 individuals, comprising 266 patients and 645 companions, transported by land and air over several trips to receive medical care.

 

The initiative was announced by His Majesty King Abdullah, during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on February 11, 2025, to treat 2,000 child patients from Gaza in successive stages.

 

The Jordan Medical Corridor is one of several ongoing initiatives launched by the Kingdom to support the people of Gaza.

 

Jordan runs two military field hospitals in Gaza - one in the Strip's north and was established in 2009 following the war in 2008 and the second is in Khan Younis in the south, which was established in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli war of aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7, 2023.

 

Besides the field hospitals in Gaza, the JAF established the Jordanian field hospital in Nablus in late November 2023.

 

The Kingdom, in cooperation with the World Central Kitchen, has also dispatched a mobile bakery with a production capacity of 3,500 loaves of bread per hour to Gaza.

 

Other humanitarian programmes include the land and air bridges for aid delivery, the Restoring Hope Initiative, which provides prosthetics for amputees, and the evacuation of critical cases to Jordanian hospitals.
