AMMAN — The Jordan Field Hospital South Gaza on Monday received a delegation of tribal leaders and dignitaries from Khan Younis and the southern Gaza Strip, along with members of the Khan Yunis Families Forum. 

 

The hospital's force commander welcomed the visiting delegation, saying that the medical and therapeutic services provided by the hospital are implemented in accordance with the Royal directives and stem from Jordan's national and humanitarian duty towards the people of Gaza.

 

He emphasised that the hospital's staff will continue to provide top-tier healthcare services to patients, according to a Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) statement.

 

The delegation commended the hospital's humanitarian efforts and role in supporting the Palestinian people, particularly following the arrival of a medical supply convoy last week.

 

They also hailed the Royal initiatives, foremost of which is the initiative to treat 2,000 Gazan children in Jordan and the "Restoring Hope" initiative for amputees, which recently included supporting the hospital with 1,000 prosthetic limbs.

 

They stressed that these humanitarian efforts embody Jordan's unwavering stance towards the Palestinian people, helping alleviate the suffering of the injured and restoring hope to thousands of families in the Strip.

 

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.

 

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