The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Monday that it is monitoring the conditions of Jordanian doctors and nurses who were stranded in Gaza after the Israeli army occupied the Rafah crossing, noting that it is working to secure their evacuation “as quickly as possible.”

This came in a statement by the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which stated in the statement: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs is following up on the conditions of Jordanian doctors and nurses stranded in the Gaza Strip after the Israeli army occupied the Rafah crossing, and they volunteered to help provide medical care to our Gazan brothers at the European Hospital in Gaza.”

It stressed that it is "working to secure their evacuation to the Kingdom as quickly as possible," without specifying how to do so, amid the Israeli army's control of the border crossings to the Gaza Strip.

On May 7, Israel announced its control over the Palestinian side of the Rafah land crossing with Egypt. Which caused it to be closed to the entry of limited humanitarian aid.

The closure of the crossing increased the suffering of the residents of the Gaza Strip, who are about 2.3 million Palestinians, the Israeli war forced about two million of them to flee in catastrophic conditions, with severe scarcity of supplies of water, food, and medicine.
