Jordan evacuates sick and injured Palestinian children from Gaza
EXCLUSIVE – Sixteen Palestinian children, 10 of whom are cancer patients, were evacuated from Gaza on Wednesday as part of an ongoing Jordanian initiative to help civilians amid the war, Fox News has learned. The humanitarian effort is part of a larger initiative called the "Jordan Medical Corridor" that was developed by King Abdullah II and announced during a White House meeting between the Jordanian leader and President Donald Trump in mid-February. "Jordan is keen to bring more child patients from Gaza in each evacuation batch and to expedite the process," a Jordanian source told Fox News. "There are limitations due to technical and logistical challenges facing the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as Israeli restrictions." Netanyahu Coalition Threatened By Conscription Standoff With Religious Parties Despite the limitations, a total of 64 Palestinians were able to leave Gaza on Wednesday for Jordan. The youngest is a 5-month-old baby suffering from severe malnutrition. Other patients include a 6-year-old with explosive injury burns and a 2-year-old with blood cancer. Four of the patients were taken by helicopter from the Israel-Jordan border. In Amman, the entire group of children, with the exception of two who will be flown to nearby countries, will receive free medical treatment and housing until the completion of their care. Read On The Fox News App Hamas Trying To 'Sabotage' Trump-backed Aid Group, Israeli Official Says The current Jordanian mandate aims to evacuate 2,000 children from the Palestinian enclave, while continuing internal efforts to provide field hospital treatment and aid to those still trapped in Gaza. "The ongoing Israeli operations make it hard to ensure the safety of the child patients and their families during their transportation to the assembly point and inside the assembly point," a Jordanian source added. An Israeli official confirmed the evacuation took place at the Kerem Shalom crossing in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, adding that there is cooperation between Israel and Jordan despite the security challenges. Earlier in the war, Jordan used C-130 aircraft to drop food into Gaza using pallets attached to large parachutes. Some of these drops were done in coordination with U.S. Central Command. More than 600 days into the war, regional conversations continue to take place aiming for a ceasefire that would end the suffering of Palestinian civilians and bring the remaining 55 hostages held by Hamas home.

Jordan's Royal initiative provides a lifeline for Gaza's injured children
Sael, one of the beneficiaries of the Royal Initiative to treat 2,000 children from Gaza through the Jordan Medical Corridor, expresses his joy when his family received a phone call offering treatment in Jordan (Petra photo) AMMAN — Ten-year-old Sael Arafat never imagined that a simple trip to buy coffee for his family would lead him to unknowingly purchase the world's most expensive coffee, a cost that will follow him for the rest of his life. Speaking to the Jordan News Agency, Petra, Sael recounted how he was injured by shrapnel from an explosion on his way to buy coffee, resulting in the amputation of his right leg. Sael, one of the beneficiaries of the Royal Initiative to treat 2,000 children from Gaza through the Jordan Medical Corridor, expressed his joy when his family received a phone call offering treatment in Jordan. "I was overjoyed when we received the call for treatment in Jordan for a prosthetic limb that will allow me to walk again and enjoy my childhood," said Sael. His father, Arafat Satari, expressed deep gratitude to His Majesty King Abdullah for this gesture, stressing that this is not the first time the King has extended his support to the Palestinian people. Meanwhile, Sidra Bardini's mother shared her heartbreaking story, explaining that her daughter had lost one of her hands and they had almost resigned themselves to the fact that she would live her life with one hand. "But by God's will, my daughter will now have a new hand through this Royal initiative, which will provide her with a prosthesis that will help her for the rest of her life," her mother added. Mohammad Adnan Amwas expressed a similar sense of hope, despite the pain and destruction they have endured. "Even though we've suffered a lot, we feel hopeful when we see the efforts of Jordan and the Jordanian armed forces who came to the remotest parts of Gaza to bring our children to safety and distribute them to Jordanian hospitals for treatment, easing their pain," he said, expressing joy that his son Bilal, who was injured in his left eye, benefited from the Royal treatment initiative at the Royal Medical Services. Marium Najjar's mother spoke of how the Jordanian Royal initiative had restored her hope. Marium had long suffered from seizures and fainting spells, exacerbated by the difficulty of accessing medical care in Gaza, especially with the destruction of hospitals by the occupation forces. "The Royal initiative has given us new hope for our daughter's treatment in Jordanian hospitals," she said. In a humanitarian milestone, the Jordan Armed Forces and the Ministry of Health received on Monday evening the first batch of 26 children who crossed the King Hussein Bridge for treatment in Jordanian hospitals, in accordance with Royal directives. Upon arrival, the Ministry of Health immediately provided the children with the national immunisation programme before transferring them to hospitals for further treatment. This initiative aims to treat 2,000 children from Gaza in Jordanian hospitals, who will be returned to Gaza upon completion of their treatment. International organisations have expressed their willingness to support this humanitarian effort, recognising Jordan's continued commitment to helping those in need.
