Amman, Sept. 28 (Petra) -- The Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF) on Monday evacuated the 33rd batch of sick children from the Gaza Strip under the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative, following royal directives.
The new group includes 51 sick children accompanied by 53 family members, who were transported to the Kingdom to receive medical treatment across several Jordanian hospitals as part of ongoing humanitarian and medical assistance provided to Palestinians in Gaza.
Launched in March 2025, the medical evacuations are conducted through coordination between the JAF, the Ministry of Health, and the World Health Organization (WHO), adhering to approved medical standards to ensure proper care for young patients.
The initiative reflects Jordan's ongoing humanitarian role in supporting Palestinians and alleviating suffering in Gaza, particularly among vulnerable groups needing specialized healthcare.
Under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, Jordan continues to reaffirm its commitment to sustaining humanitarian and medical relief efforts for sick and injured Palestinians in the enclave.
