Amman, Sept. 14 (Petra) -- The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) on Monday continued medical evacuations of sick children from the Gaza Strip, evacuating the 32nd group under the Jordanian Medical Corridor initiative, in implementation of royal directives.
The latest group comprised eight sick children accompanied by eight family members. They were transported to Jordan to receive treatment and medical care at several Jordanian hospitals, reflecting Jordan's continued efforts to deploy its medical and humanitarian resources to ease the suffering of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, particularly children in need of specialized care.
Since the evacuation operations began in March 2025, the JAF, in coordination with the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO), has continued to transport patients in accordance with approved health procedures and standards, ensuring that medical cases reach the kingdom and receive the necessary care.
The continuation of the Jordanian Medical Corridor comes amid extremely difficult humanitarian and health conditions in the Gaza Strip, underscoring Jordan's commitment to supporting Palestinians and standing by those most in need by providing available treatment and medical care to cases requiring intervention outside the enclave.
The efforts reflect Jordan's humanitarian and medical role, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, in supporting Palestinians and strengthening the humanitarian and medical response to their suffering. They also reaffirm the kingdom's consistent approach of assisting and caring for patients and the injured, particularly children.
