Jordan receives new group of injured children from Gaza
Jordan welcomed a new group of injured children from Gaza on Wednesday as part of its ongoing humanitarian efforts to provide medical care for residents of the war-torn enclave. The children arrived through the King Hussein Bridge crossing, accompanied by family members or guardians. They were immediately transferred to specialized hospitals in Jordan for treatment, depending on each child's medical condition. This initiative reflects Jordan's continued commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, especially amid the ongoing destruction of the enclave's health care system due to the war.

Official Study: Drinking Coffee at Night Increases Impulsive Behavior—Especially in Females - Jordan News
A recent scientific study conducted by researchers at the University of Texas has revealed that consuming caffeine, particularly at night, may lead to an increase in impulsive behavior, potentially resulting in reckless actions, especially among females. اضافة اعلان The findings, published in the journal iScience, used fruit flies (Drosophila) as a model to explore how nighttime caffeine intake affects behavioral control. The species was chosen due to its genetic and neurological similarities to humans, making it a reliable model for studying complex behaviors. Study Details: According to Dr. Paul Sabandal, assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Texas, caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world, with about 85% of U.S. adults using it regularly. The study was designed to explore whether the timing of caffeine intake plays a role in behavioral outcomes. Researchers introduced caffeine into the fruit flies' diet under various conditions, including: Different doses of caffeine Daytime vs. nighttime consumption Sleep deprivation The team then assessed impulsivity by measuring the flies' ability to restrain movement in response to strong air puffs—a method used to simulate a stressful stimulus. Key Findings: Flies that consumed caffeine at night were significantly more impulsive, failing to restrain movement and instead displaying reckless flying behaviors. In contrast, flies that consumed caffeine during the daytime did not exhibit the same level of impulsivity. Gender Differences: Interestingly, the effects were more pronounced in female flies, despite both sexes having similar caffeine levels in their bodies. Researcher Kyung-An Han noted that although female flies do not possess human hormones such as estrogen, this suggests that genetic or physiological factors may make females more sensitive to caffeine's behavioral effects. Han emphasized that understanding these mechanisms could offer deeper insights into how circadian biology and sex-based physiological differences influence caffeine's impact on behavior. Caution and Implications: The research team warned that the findings may have real-world implications for: Night shift workers Healthcare professionals Military personnel —especially females in these groups, who may be more vulnerable to impulsive or risky behavior due to nighttime caffeine consumption. The study concludes with a recommendation to reconsider the timing of caffeine intake, as it may have a significant effect on behavioral control, particularly during night hours.

Jordan receives ninth group of 15 Gaza child patients under medical corridor initiative
DEAD SEA — Jordan on Wednesday received a new group of child patients and their family companions evacuated from Gaza as part of the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative. The latest batch, the ninth since the programme began, included 15 child patients and 43 accompanying family members. The group arrived on August 6, 2025, despite persistent challenges related to the situation on the ground in Gaza, according to a Royal Court statement. Since the launch of the initiative on March 4, 2025, Jordan has evacuated a total of 439 individuals, including 134 patients and 303 family members, in cooperation with the World Health Organisation (WHO). The initiative was announced by His Majesty King Abdullah, during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on February 11, 2025, to treat 2,000 child patients from Gaza in successive stages. The patients would be received at top public and private hospitals, where they undergo high-quality medical treatment. Once their treatment is complete, they and their companions return to Gaza, the statement said. Officials stressed that despite Jordan's commitment to expanding and accelerating the evacuation process, logistical constraints facing the WHO, coupled with Israeli restrictions and security concerns, continue to hinder transfers. "Ongoing Israeli military operations had complicated efforts to ensure the safe transfer of patients and their families to and within assembly points." Jordan has also coordinated the evacuation of child patients to other countries for treatment, as part of wider international humanitarian efforts, the statement said. The Jordan Medical Corridor is one of several ongoing initiatives launched by the Kingdom to support the people of Gaza. Jordan runs two military field hospitals in Gaza, one in the Strip's north, which was established in 2009 following the war in 2008. The second was established in Khan Younis in the south in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli war of aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7, 2023. Besides the field hospitals in Gaza, the JAF established the Jordanian field hospital in Nablus in late November 2023 and has conducted over 900 surgeries and received more than 83,000 patients ever since. The Kingdom, in cooperation with the World Central Kitchen, has also dispatched a mobile bakery with a production capacity of 3,500 loaves of bread per hour to Gaza. Other humanitarian programmes include the land and air bridges for aid delivery, the Restoring Hope Initiative, which provides prosthetics for amputees, and the evacuation of critical cases to Jordanian hospitals. Jordan remains steadfast in its commitment to alleviating the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza through all available means, the statement said.
