JAF sends medical aid to Jordan's field hospital in Gaza

AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF) on Wednesday dispatched a new aid convoy to the Jordanian field hospital in southern Gaza, reinforcing its ongoing medical and humanitarian mission to support the Palestinian people. The convoy, organised by the Royal Supply and Transport Directorate, included food supplies, drinking water, fuel and other humanitarian aid, aimed at maintaining the hospital's full operational capacity and ensuring continued medical care for patients and the wounded in the Gaza Strip, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The field hospital remains fully functional, offering advanced healthcare services through its specialised medical and technical teams. These efforts have helped alleviate the severe humanitarian suffering endured by Palestinians amid the region's ongoing crisis. Since its establishment two years ago, the hospital has treated approximately 364,883 patients. It has also conducted 19,302 major and minor surgical procedures, in addition to providing emergency care, radiology and laboratory services, and round-the-clock nursing within an integrated healthcare framework. These efforts underscore the unwavering humanitarian commitment of the Jordan Armed Forces to supporting brotherly nations and enhancing the resilience of medical institutions in conflict-affected areas, in line with its mission to deliver relief and assistance wherever needed. 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.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 104 people were killed and 399 injured in the past 24 hours due to ongoing 'Israeli' attacks. Among the dead were 60 individuals killed while attempting to receive humanitarian aid, raising the total number of 'death trap martyrs' to 1,239 killed and more than 8,152 injured. The Ministry also confirmed seven new deaths from starvation and malnutrition within the same period, bringing the total to 154 deaths, including 89 children. Since October 7, 2023, the total number of those killed in Gaza has reached 60,138, with 146,269 people injured. From March 18, 2025, alone, 8,970 people have been killed and 34,228 wounded.
