AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) on Monday evacuated the 37th batch of sick children from the Gaza Strip under the Jordanian Medical Corridor initiative, launched under Royal directives.

 

The latest batch comprised 28 sick children accompanied by 27 family members, according to a JAF statement.

 

The children were transferred to Jordan to receive treatment at hospitals across the Kingdom as part of the ongoing Jordanian humanitarian and medical efforts to support Palestinians in Gaza.

 

The evacuation operations, which began in March 2025, were carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation, in accordance with approved medical procedures and standards to ensure the children receive the necessary care.

 

Jordan also operates two military field hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The first was established in northern Gaza in 2009 following the 2008 war, while the second was set up in Khan Younis in November 2023 following the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza.

 

Other Jordanian humanitarian initiatives include a mobile bakery and the Restoring Hope programme, which provides prosthetic limbs for amputees.

 

The Jordanian Medical Corridor and other initiatives reflect the Kingdom's continued humanitarian and medical support for Palestinians, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah, and its efforts to alleviate the suffering of patients and injured people in Gaza.
