Storyline


The Jordanian Medical Corridor has been providing one of the few lifelines out of the Gaza Strip, where the health-care system has been on the brink of collapse under relentless Israeli attacks, with the initiative allowing injured people to be evacuated and transferred to Jordanian hospitals for treatment.

The World Health Organization(WHO) reported that, as of June, healthcare facilities in Gaza had been subjected to more than 700 attacks since the Israel-Hamas conflict erupted in October 2023, killing more than 900 people and leaving local Gazans with no access to emergency care.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, there are at least 11,000 patients in the region who urgently need to be evacuated for medical treatment, highlighting the scale of the crisis.

Back in March, Jordan stepped forward to provide assistance alongside the WHO, with the launch of their medical corridor initiative, which has helped transport hundreds of injured victims to hospitals in several batches.

Five-year-old Haneen was among those transferred from Gaza under the program. She reached Jordan with her grandparents in July after an Israeli airstrike set her home ablaze, killing her parents and younger sister.

Haneen escaped from the deadly attack, but was left badly burnt, and has been receiving necessary medical treatment from Jordanian doctors as she continues the slow road to recovery.

"The first day of the attack was hard for Haneen, as the whole world turned its attention to her, and people started to wonder how did that little girl manage to get out of the fire," said her grandmother Fadila al-Wadiah.

The humanitarian medical group Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Border, is now treating Haneen alongside dozens of other patients brought from Gaza under the Medical Corridor.

"Now we have 19 patients and 49 caretakers, [which] means companions. In our hospital, we take one patient, one companion. Currently, they are living in the hospital," said Cyril Cappal, head of the MSF mission in Jordan.

Some patients have already been sent back to Gaza after treatment, though many are concerned about the conditions they will face, which may contravene the international law principle of non-refoulement.

"It means that you cannot send people to a place where their life or liberty or any other fundamental rights will be at risk," said Omer Shatz, lawyer and lecturer of the international law at Sciences Po University.

With borders closed and trucks blocked, delivering humanitarian aid by air has become one of the only ways to reach thousands of families still trapped in Gaza and the Jordanian Armed Forces are playing a key role in this regard. So far, they have carried out over 140 solo airdrops and more than 270 joint missions with other countries as they bid to deliver essential supplies are those suffering in Gaza.
