Ahmed said that seven private hospitals are providing comprehensive care for the children, who will be treated at no cost before returning to Gaza. The cases include 11 children in need of amputations and bone surgeries, three requiring heart surgery for valve deformities, as well as others with brain, internal medicine, urology, and gastrointestinal issues. Ahmed described the children's conditions as ranging from moderate to complex, emphasising that Royal directives will continue to facilitate the treatment of up to 2,000 children. A total of 38 private hospitals in Jordan are participating in this initiative as part of the Royal instructions, offering free medical care to Gaza's children. Ahmed also said that a new group of children is expected to arrive in Jordan in the coming days. On March 4, the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF), in cooperation with the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health, evacuated 29 children and their families to Jordan by land and air. The operation was part of the Jordanian Medical Corridor initiative, in line with Royal directives, to provide the necessary medical treatment in Jordanian hospitals, marking the first batch of a planned 2,000 children to receive treatment as part of Jordan's ongoing humanitarian efforts to support Gaza's families.
