MedEvac: Medical Evacuations from Gaza

What the program has delivered

Since 2024, FAJR Global has evacuated critically injured patients from Gaza for treatment abroad, most of them to Jordan and Egypt.

• Jordan: 84 patients treated, and 220 people supported in all: the 84 patients and 136 companions.
• Egypt: 144 patients. In Egypt, FAJR pays for medical treatment; living costs are not covered.
• Invested to date: about $3.5 million in Jordan, for medical care and logistics, and about $686,000 in Egypt.

What one evacuation costs

Most evacuated patients need a staged series of operations, not a single one: burn surgery, orthopedic reconstruction, eye surgery, prosthetics and months of physiotherapy. Costs vary with the injury, from a few hundred dollars to more than $150,000 for one patient. In Jordan, the total cost averages $41,667 per patient.

Of the $3.5 million spent in Jordan, $2.877 million paid for medical care: surgery, hospital stays, diagnostics, medication and the clinical teams. The rest, about $620,000, paid for logistics, housing, food and daily support for patients and the relatives who travel with them.

No patient recovers alone

A parent at a child's bedside is part of the treatment. In Jordan, 136 companions have stayed alongside the 84 patients.

Recovery also means mental health care. Patients and families receive trauma-focused therapy and family counseling in Arabic, and FAJR provides schooling for children and plans each family's return.

This work runs through the Gaza Medical Evacuations project. To fund the next evacuation, give to Medical Evacuations for Injured Gaza Children.
