AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) on Tuesday implemented a new medical evacuation operation for six child cancer patients from Gaza along with 19 family members, as part of the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative.
The patients and their accompanying family members were received at the King Hussein Bridge on the border, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO). They were then evacuated by Royal Jordanian Air Force helicopters to Marka Airport and from there to the King Hussein Cancer Centre to receive treatment, according to a JAF statement.
The operation was conducted in line with the highest standards, implemented by specialised medical cadres who accompanied the patients.
A total of 39 children and 75 family members have been medically evacuated to Jordan since the medical corridor initiative was launched. Seventeen of these children have since returned to Gaza with their families after concluding their treatment at public and private hospitals in Jordan, the statement said.
The Jordan Medical Corridor initiative was launched in March this year with the goal of providing treatment for 2,000 Gazan children at Jordanian hospitals.
