Injured Palestinian Children Evacuated to Jordan

29 injured Palestinian children have been evacuated from Gaza to Jordan for urgent medical treatment. They are the 1st group of 2,000 children that Jordan has pledged to treat in its hospitals. The evacuation comes amid ongoing Israeli bombardment, which has left Gaza’s healthcare system overwhelmed. The children, many sufferings from severe injuries, were transported through coordinated humanitarian efforts. Jordanian hospitals are preparing to receive more patients in the coming weeks.
