Amman: The Jordan Armed Forces on Wednesday evacuated the seventh group of sick children from the Gaza Strip under the Jordanian Medical Corridor initiative, according to a military statement.
The group included 35 children, accompanied by 72 family members. They were transported to Jordan for treatment in local hospitals via the King Hussein Bridge.
The evacuation was carried out in coordination with the Jordanian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization, and conducted under strict medical and security procedures.
According to the statement, this is the largest group evacuated since the initiative was launched in March.
To date, a total of 112 children and 241 family members have been brought to Jordan 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.
