Amman, The Jordanian Armed Forces, in cooperation with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation, dispatched a new humanitarian convoy consisting of 50 trucks to the Gaza Strip.
The Jordan News Agency “Petra” reported that the convoy was coordinated in partnership with the World Food Programme and included contributions from public campaigns and various Jordanian institutions.
The trucks transported essential food parcels and rice, intended for distribution to the population in Gaza through partner associations and local organisations.
Hussein Al-Shibli, Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation, affirmed Jordan’s readiness to increase the number of convoys and trucks sent to Gaza, stressing that Jordan’s primary focus since the conflict began has been to ramp up humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Al Shibli explained that the total number of ground trucks that have entered Gaza as of Thursday has risen to 2,270 trucks, in addition to 53 aircraft via El Arish.
On another note, the number of ai
r drops conducted by the Jordanian Armed Forces in the sector reached 107 drops, along with 261 aerial drops in cooperation with other countries.
Israel has been waging a war on Gaza since last October, resulting in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis due to shortages of food, medicine, and water.
