Amman, Oct. 19 (Petra) -- The Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF) evacuated on Monday the 35th cohort of sick children from the Gaza Strip under the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative, executing royal directives.
The newly arrived group includes 20 pediatric patients accompanied by 20 family members. They were transported to the Kingdom to receive medical treatment and specialized healthcare across several Jordanian hospitals as part of ongoing humanitarian and medical assistance provided to Palestinians in Gaza.
The evacuation operations, launched in March 2025, are conducted through close coordination between the JAF, the Ministry of Health, and the World Health Organization (WHO), strictly adhering to established medical standards to ensure high-quality care for the young patients.
This initiative embodies the Kingdom’s steadfast humanitarian role under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II in supporting the Palestinian people, alleviating hardship in Gaza, and extending critical medical intervention to vulnerable groups.
