MSF JORDAN, First Palestinian patients from MSF hospital in Jordan return to Gaza
Six Palestinian patients along with their caretakers voluntarily returned to Gaza last week from Jordan, after months of medical care at the MSF hospital in Amman.
Among them, 16-year-old Saja, her little brother and mother, were able to finally reunite with their family in Gaza. Saja had to have her leg amputated after Israeli forces bombed her home in Gaza. In July 2025, she was evacuated from Gaza and arrived to the MSF hospital in Jordan where she received surgery, physiotherapy & mental healthcare. “I hope for peace and that we can start our lives again,” she says.
Despite the fragile ceasefire, the situation in Gaza remains catastrophic, with continued violence and airstrikes by the Israeli forces. Since 11 October 2025, at least 460 people have been killed in Gaza by Israeli forces. There are also still over 18,500 people in need of medical evacuation.
MSF calls on the Israeli authorities to ensure medical evacuations for all Palestinians in need of care now, including their caregivers, while guaranteeing their safe, voluntary and dignified return to Gaza.
