Children from Gaza return home after medical treatment in Jordan

  • The group, which included 10 children and 18 members of their families, crossed King Hussein Bridge on the border between Jordan and the West Bank on Wednesday
  • Authorities in Jordan have been organizing medical evacuations from Gaza since March last year

LONDON: A group of Palestinian children are returning home to Gaza after medical treatment in Jordanian hospitals.

The patients, who included 10 children and 18 members of their families, crossed King Hussein Bridge on the border between Jordan and the West Bank on Wednesday, the Jordan News Agency reported.

Jordanian authorities said the group was returning to Gaza after treatment in line with Jordan’s commitment to support for Palestinians and the prevention of displacement from their land.

Jordan has been organizing medical evacuations from Gaza since March last year, during which time 635 children and 1,598 caregivers have been taken to hospitals in Jordan.
