Sixteen children and their family escorts were evacuated from Gaza to Jordan for medical treatment on Wednesday, the BBC reports.

Since March, the media outlet says, 57 children have been evacuated to Jordan.

King Abdullah announced during a February meeting with US President Donald Trump that Jordan would take in 2,000 child cancer patients and other sick children from Gaza for treatment in the Hashemite kingdom.
