The Ministry's official spokesperson, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Al-Qudah, explained that the number of Jordanian citizens residing and present in Gaza, registered with the Ministry, is 569 individuals. Of these, 209 have been evacuated to Cairo through the Rafah crossing, and 53 have been transported to the Kingdom through the Jordanian Royal Air Force evacuation plane, which was sent by Jordan to El Arish Airport in the Arab Republic of Egypt last week, carrying humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza.

Ambassador Qudah emphasized that a team from the Jordanian Embassy in Cairo is still present on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing to coordinate the entry of Jordanian citizens from Gaza into Egypt, secure their needs, and ensure their safety and well-being, so that they can be transferred to the Kingdom as soon as possible.
