AMMAN — The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) said on Wednesday it had supplied 477 prosthetic limbs to amputees in the Gaza Strip as part of the ongoing “Restoring Hope” initiative.

In a statement on Wednesday, the organisation said the initiative has made a significant humanitarian and psychological impact on recipients. It noted that the prosthetics have helped restore hope and dignity to those injured, eased their suffering, and enabled them to reintegrate into society and regain a sense of independence.

The “Restoring Hope” initiative was launched in September in 2024 in the war-torn Gaza Strip, under Royal directives, to provide prosthetic limbs to those who have been disabled due to the ongoing war.

The initiative is a collaboration between several organisations, including the Royal Medical Services, the “Hakeem programme” by Electronic Health Solutions, and JHCO.
