Launched in coordination with the World Health Organization (WHO) in March, the Jordanian Medical Corridor initiative facilitated the evacuation of 498 patients, mostly children and those with chronic illnesses, along with 1,351 family members.
While evacuees were transported by land and air, many returned to Gaza after receiving treatment, which reaffirms Jordan’s opposition to the forced displacement of Palestinians amid the Israeli genocide.
Jordan operated in its three field hospitals, including two in Gaza and one in Nablus, in the West Bank. The Khan Younis hospital performed 23,679 surgeries and 314,296 consultations, despite resource shortages.

The northern hospital in Tal al-Hawa reopened in December after repairs and performed 1,139 surgeries and 124,415 consultations. These centers offer general surgery, orthopedics, pediatrics, neurosurgery, and gynecology.
In addition, Jordan sent emergency aid with 564 airdrops of food, medicine, and essential supplies. At least 400 of those airdrops were carried out in collaboration with allied countries, which strengthened international assistance.
Three Jordanian mobile bakeries, in cooperation with the World Central Kitchen organization, produced “millions of loaves of bread,” with a daily capacity of 70,000 each.
Since the start of the Israeli offnsive in 2023, the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 70,900, mostly civilians, and including more than 20,000 children. According to the Gaza-based Health Ministry, the number of wounded has reached 171,000, and many have lost their homes.
