With the coordination and assistance of the Jordanian Armed Forces, the sixth group of patients from the Gaza Strip arrived in Jordan on Wednesday local time to receive medical treatment.
A total of 19 child patients were among the arrivals, accompanied by 40 family members.
Under the coordination of the Jordanian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization, the patients will be transferred to local public and private hospitals, where they will receive treatment from professional medical teams.
As planned by the Jordanian side, patients who complete their treatment will be promptly sent back to Gaza, making room for the next group of patients to be treated.
"Now that we have arrived in Jordan, we are grateful for the efforts and care provided by everyone involved along the way. The journey was comfortable and we arrived safely. We hope to complete our treatment in Jordan," a family member of a patient said.
"My son was injured by an explosive bullet, with a 10-cm bone shattered. After arriving in Jordan, I am unsure of the next steps. They told me he will either be treated in Jordan or in Germany. I don't know what the decision will be, whether to treat him locally in Jordan or transfer him to Germany," another patient's family told China Central Television (CCTV).
Jordan put forward an initiative to receive and treat 2,000 critically ill patients from Gaza in February this year.
Since March, the country has received a total of 246 people from Gaza in groups, including 77 patients and 169 family members.
The Jordanian side has stated that it hopes to transfer more patients from Gaza and to accelerate the process.
However, due to technical and logistical challenges, as well as restrictive measures imposed by Israel, there have been some obstacles in working out the process.
In particular, the continued military operations carried out by Israel have made it hard to ensure the safety of patients and their families during transport and at assembly points.

From cutting-edge technology exhibitions to retail stores thousands of kilometers away from Europe and Southeast Asia, China-made robot vacuum cleaners are increasingly becoming a popular choice among consumers worldwide.
At electronics retailers in Berlin, Germany, Chinese brands such as Roborock and Dreame occupy prominent positions in dedicated robot vacuum sections, offering a wide range of products priced between 200 and 2,000 euros.
Many local consumers said that when purchasing smart home appliances including robot vacuum cleaners, they tend to give priority to Chinese-made products.
"It's a good price and good quality. It's also the innovation. I have a feeling that the European brands are not innovating enough," said one customer.
"I think they're always on top of the other technologies. They are getting them out faster. A lot of us are switching to the Chinese technology," another consumer said.
Germany is one of the most important overseas markets for China's floor-cleaning robots.
According to data from market research firm GfK, from January to November 2025, more than six out of 10 robot vacuum cleaners sold in Western Europe were Chinese brands.
Industry data also point to a strong global momentum.
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), global shipments of smart robot vacuum cleaners reached 17.424 million units in the first three quarters of 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 18.7 percent.
Chinese brands including Roborock, Ecovacs, Dreame, Xiaomi and Narwal ranked among the world's top five in terms of shipment volume, with a combined share of nearly 70 percent of the global market.
At a robot vacuum cleaner manufacturing plant in Huizhou, south China's Guangdong Province, workers were seen stepping up production of newly launched models that recently debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show in the United States, which concluded Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The factory adjusted its production lines as early as December 2025 and stocked inventory in advance for overseas markets to ensure that new products could be delivered to global consumers at the earliest possible time.
"In 2025, Roborock's global shipments exceeded 7.2 million units. Since 2024, overseas revenue has accounted for more than 50 percent of our total revenue. Our products have now been sold to more than 170 countries and regions, serving more than 20 million households worldwide," said Quan Gang, president of Roborock.
At another robot vacuum cleaner manufacturing facility in Dongguan, Guangdong, rising overseas orders have prompted the company to upgrade its production lines with intelligent technologies to further boost capacity. The factory is currently operating at full load to meet a growing demand.
"For 2026, we have already obtained overseas orders worth at least 300 million to 400 million yuan (around 43 million to 57.3 million U.S. dollars). In addition, we've engaged in strategic cooperation with European home appliance group Cebos Group, and our total confirmed orders have exceeded 600 million yuan (around 86 million U.S. dollars)," said Zhang Junbin, founder and CEO of Narwal Robotics.
