Two Gazan children return home after treatment in Jordan

Two children from the Gaza Strip, accompanied by five relatives, returned to the Gaza Strip today after successfully completing medical treatment in Jordanian hospitals – a statement by the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF) said.

The children had previously arrived in Jordan as part of a medical evacuation effort facilitated by the Jordanian Armed Forces, in cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Jordan's Ministry of Health.

This group represents the second batch of children to return to Gaza after receiving care in Jordan.

Seventeen children from the initial group had returned on May 13, as part of the "Jordanian Medical Corridor" initiative.

Launched by Jordan in early March, the initiative aims to provide vital medical assistance to children from the besieged Gaza Strip.

Dozens of other Gazan children continue to receive treatment in Jordan, having been medically evacuated since the program began.

The "Jordanian Medical Corridor" is one of several initiatives undertaken by Jordan since the war on Gaza began, designed to alleviate humanitarian suffering.

These efforts also include sending field hospitals, specialized clinics, and convoys carrying medical and food aid.

Patients and their companions will return to Gaza upon completing their treatment, the JAF said in a statement, saying that this approach allows for the evacuation of new batches of patients to Jordanian hospitals.
