AMMAN: Jordan’s government on Wednesday began evacuating four child cancer patients and 12 family members from Gaza.
They are the second group of patients evacuated for treatment under the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative, started in March this year, that aims to treat 2,000 Gazan children.
The children and their families were evacuated by the Royal Jordanian Air Force in cooperation with the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health.
They will be treated at the King Hussein Cancer Center.
The first evacuees were 29 children and 44 family members. Seventeen of these children have since returned to Gaza with their families after completing their treatment.
