Jordan resumes aid convoys to Gaza

The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), in coordination with the Jordanian Armed Forces, resumed sending aid convoys to the Gaza Strip today, following royal directives.

In a statement released Wednesday, the JHCO announced that a 40-truck convoy carrying essential food supplies crossed into Gaza.

This effort, conducted in cooperation with the World Food Program (WFP), is part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's ongoing humanitarian initiatives to support the people in the Strip.

The aid will be distributed in northern Gaza to ensure food assistance reaches the most affected families, in coordination with local partners within the territory.

Hussein Al-Shibli, Secretary-General of the JHCO, said the return of the convoys underscores Jordan's commitment, under the leadership of King Abdullah II, to stand with the Palestinian people.

Al-Shibli emphasized the importance of cooperation with the WFP in enhancing food security in Gaza.

He noted that the JHCO has been working daily to implement food projects within the Strip, including operating bakeries, soup kitchens, and distributing food and clean water.

The JHCO continues to coordinate its efforts with the Jordanian Armed Forces-Arab Army and international organizations to ensure the continuous delivery of relief aid aligns with on-the-ground needs, aiming to alleviate the suffering of those in the Strip.
