The first group of sick children from Gaza arrived in Jordan today through Marka Airport as part of the “Jordanian Medical Corridor – Gaza” initiative, which aims to evacuate 2,000 children from Gaza for medical treatment in Jordanian hospitals.
Accompanied by their family members, the children were transported through special arrangements made by the Jordanian authorities.
This operation represents a key step in providing life-saving medical care to those affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Upon arrival, the group was greeted by medical and government officials who ensured a smooth transition to designated hospitals across the country. The children will receive necessary care at both public and private hospitals, where specialized medical teams are ready to assist.
Additionally, 26 children will arrive by land, and 4 children have already arrived by air.
Minister of Government Communication Mohammad Al-Momani confirmed that the Kingdom has begun receiving children from Gaza who are suffering from various illnesses to receive treatment in Jordanian hospitals. He also mentioned that another group will arrive by land soon.
The Minister reiterated Jordan’s firm position, as declared by His Majesty the King in Washington, rejecting any attempts to displace Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. He emphasized Jordan’s commitment to protecting Palestinian rights and supporting their steadfastness.
This evacuation marks the beginning of a phased process, with more groups expected in the coming days. Launched under royal directives, the initiative underscores Jordan’s commitment to supporting Gaza and providing vital humanitarian aid during this critical time.
The children will remain in Jordan until their conditions stabilize before being returned to Gaza to reunite with their families.
