The hospital's commanding officer stated that, in line with the directives of the General Command of the Jordanian Armed Forces to provide the best medical and humanitarian services to the people of Gaza, the medical staff carried out complex surgeries through highly skilled and specialized doctors and nurses.
A senior maxillofacial surgeon explained that the children were suffering from malnutrition, difficulty swallowing, and full dependence on infant formula, which placed a significant burden on their families. He also noted that the children had been deprived of timely treatment due to the lack of specialized medical staff for such complex cases. In response, doctors from Nasser Medical Complex were trained in the hospital's operating rooms to equip them for handling such cases in the future.
He added that the severity of the cases ranged from moderate to severe, including diagnoses such as wide bilateral cleft palates and complete cleft lips. These conditions were further complicated by delayed preoperative procedures due to the challenging conditions in the Gaza Strip.
The children's families expressed their deep gratitude and appreciation to His Majesty King Abdullah II and to the efforts of the Jordanian field hospital staff for the essential medical and therapeutic services being provided to the people of Gaza.
