Amman, June 11 (Petra) -- The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army on Wednesday implemented a new medical evacuation operation for 16 child patients from Gaza, including 10 cancer patients, along with 48 family members, as part of the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative.

Twelve of the children were transported by land, while four were transported by air. One of the patients will be later evacuated to Saudi Arabia for treatment, while another will receive treatment in the United Arab Emirates.

The patients and their accompanying family members were evacuated in cooperation with Jordan’s Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO).

A total of 57 children and 113 family members have been medically evacuated by land and air to Jordan since the medical corridor initiative was launched.

The Jordan Medical Corridor initiative was launched in March this year upon Royal directives, with the goal of providing treatment for Gazan children at Jordanian hospitals.
