Jordan evacuates more sick children from Gaza
The Jordan Armed Forces have evacuated the 10th group of sick children from Gaza under the Jordanian Medical Corridor initiative, according to a military statement.
The group included 19 children, accompanied by 62 family members.
They were transported to Jordan for specialised care in local hospitals, said the statement.
The evacuation was carried out in coordination with the Jordanian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation, the statement added.
Since the initiative was launched in March, 153 children and 365 family members have been brought to Jordan by land and air for medical care.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II announced in February the country’s readiness to receive up to 2,000 Palestinian children from Gaza for treatment.
