The humanitarian effort is part of a larger initiative called the "Jordan Medical Corridor" that was developed by King Abdullah II and announced during a White House meeting between the Jordanian leader and President Donald Trump in mid-February.

"Jordan is keen to bring more child patients from Gaza in each evacuation batch and to expedite the process," a Jordanian source told Fox News. "There are limitations due to technical and logistical challenges facing the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as Israeli restrictions."
Despite the limitations, a total of 64 Palestinians were able to leave Gaza on Wednesday for Jordan. The youngest is a 5-month-old baby suffering from severe malnutrition. Other patients include a 6-year-old with explosive injury burns and a 2-year-old with blood cancer.
Four of the patients were taken by helicopter from the Israel-Jordan border. In Amman, the entire group of children, with the exception of two who will be flown to nearby countries, will receive free medical treatment and housing until the completion of their care.
The current Jordanian mandate aims to evacuate 2,000 children from the Palestinian enclave, while continuing internal efforts to provide field hospital treatment and aid to those still trapped in Gaza.

"The ongoing Israeli operations make it hard to ensure the safety of the child patients and their families during their transportation to the assembly point and inside the assembly point," a Jordanian source added.

PEN International calls for global arms embargo on Israel over 'Gaza genocide' https://istandwithpalestine.org/story/pen-international-calls-for-global-arms-embargo-on-israel-over-gaza-genocide/ https://istandwithpalestine.org/story/pen-international-calls-for-global-arms-embargo-on-israel-over-gaza-genocide/#respond Mon, 02 Jun 2025 14:25:34 +0000 https://istandwithpalestine.org/story/pen-international-calls-for-global-arms-embargo-on-israel-over-gaza-genocide/ PEN International has called for an immediate arms embargo on Israel to prevent what it called the "ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza".

In a statement on Sunday, the organisation expressed outrage at the international community's failure to hold Israel accountable for the daily killing of civilians and suffocating blockade, and called for immediate action to end the assault.

PEN International collected testimonies from Palestinian writers across the occupied territories, which it said demonstrate "concerted and systematic efforts by Israel to erase the Palestinian people and their cultural heritage".

The NGO is the latest in a growing number of international organisations to designate Israel's attack on Gaza as a genocidal campaign.

The Israeli military's onslaught has killed at least 54,418 Palestinians over the past 20 months, with thousands of others believed to be trapped beneath the rubble.

More than three-quarters of all structures in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged, including 90 percent of the territory's housing units, most of its schools and hospitals, and dozens of religious and historical sites.
