CAIRO – Jordan has received the first group of sick Gaza children for medical treatment, according to state-run Petra news agency.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II announced last month that his country would take in some 2,000 sick children from war-torn Gaza to receive treatment.

The batch will include cancer children who are in a very ill state.
