Dutch Government Declines to Bring Palestinian Children to Netherlands, Opting for Regional Care
The Dutch cabinet will evacuate five sick children from Gaza to the Netherlands but will not accept additional patients. Instead, it allocates 12 million euros for care in Jordan, with 6 million supporting King Abdullah II’s program to treat 2,000 children via the WHO. Minister Sjoerd Sjoerdsma argues regional evacuation is preferable due to cultural familiarity and greater capacity to help more children compared to bringing them to Europe.
