Amman : A group of Gaza patients will soon arrive in Amman to have medical treatment in Jordanian hospitals, head of Jordan’s Diplomatic Bureau at the Palestinian Authority Yehya Qarraleh said on Wednesday.
The group includes 21 patients suffering from dangerous diseases such as cancer, cardiac diseases and kidney failure, Qarraleh said in a statement, without disclosing when patients will arrive in Amman.
This will be the second group of Gaza patients whom Jordan’s King Abdullah has decided to receive and have treated in Jordan.
On Jan. 4, the first group of 21 Gaza patients arrived in Jordan for medical treatment, which was paid for by the Jordanian monarch.
According to earlier news reports, more than 1,500 patients in the Gaza Strip need urgent medical treatment.
