Amman, Dec. 2 (Petra) – The University of Jordan Hospital received five children from Gaza with heart conditions on Tuesday as part of an initiative carried out in cooperation with the Chain of Hope foundation, Gift of Life International – Jordan organization and the Children Without Numbers foundation.

The initiative is in line with ongoing humanitarian directives from King Abdullah II in support of the Palestinian people.
