Mr. Issa stressed that this agreement falls within the strategy of Bank of Jordan to achieve a clear and sustainable societal impact, particularly children in need in Palestine and within the third part of the relief umbrella program for the Gaza strip. He added that the expansion of this support includes the hosting and care of 68 children from among those without family care aged between two and fourteen years evicted from the children’s village in Rafah and transported to Bethlehem to protect them and ensure their safety. This reflects the commitment of the bank towards its social responsibility in the critical time.
