Amman, Aug. 17 (Petra)-- The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) on Monday evacuated the 31st batch of sick children from the Gaza Strip under the Jordanian Medical Corridor Initiative, following royal directives.

The new group includes seven sick children accompanied by 13 family members. They were transferred to the Kingdom to receive medical treatment and care in several Jordanian hospitals as part of the country's ongoing humanitarian and medical support for Palestinians in Gaza.

The evacuation operations, which began in March 2025, are conducted in coordination between the JAF, the Ministry of Health, and the World Health Organization (WHO), adhering to approved health procedures to ensure adequate medical care for the children.

The initiative highlights Jordan's humanitarian role in supporting Palestinians and alleviating their suffering amid challenging conditions in Gaza, particularly by providing healthcare to vulnerable groups.

Through these continuous efforts led by His Majesty King Abdullah II, Jordan reaffirms its commitment to strengthening its humanitarian and medical response to assist the sick and wounded.
