Amid worsening conditions in Gaza, Jordan calls on the international community to ensure humanitarian aid reaches all affected areas.
Call for Urgent Action
Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates stressed the need for immediate international intervention to address the humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip.
The ministry highlighted that harsh weather conditions and restrictions on aid deliveries are worsening the suffering of the Palestinian population.
The ministry urged the removal of all obstacles preventing sufficient and sustainable humanitarian assistance from reaching all areas of Gaza.
Opening Crossings and Upholding International Law
Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Fouad Majali said the devastating conditions caused by destruction and blocked aid require international action to compel 'Israel' to open border crossings.
He emphasized that 'Israel' must adhere to its obligations under international humanitarian law and not hinder relief teams or disrupt aid programs in the territory.
Support for UN Agencies and NGOs
The ministry called for facilitating the work of UN agencies, particularly the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), and international non-governmental organizations.
Jordan stressed the importance of enabling these organizations to deliver services and aid to all affected areas, especially given the extreme hardships currently faced by residents.
