- Jordan, in cooperation with Qatar, has sent humanitarian, medical and food aid to Venezuela to support earthquake relief efforts.
Under the directives of King Abdullah II, Jordan on Thursday dispatched humanitarian, medical and food aid to Venezuela in cooperation with Qatar to help alleviate the impact of the twin earthquakes that struck several areas of the country.
A Qatari C-17 aircraft departed from Amman to the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, carrying 26 tonnes of specialized medical supplies for treating injuries and wounds, as well as a range of medical consumables, essential food items and relief packages to meet the urgent needs of families affected by the disaster.
The shipment also includes equipment and supplies for the Jordan International Search and Rescue Team of the Public Security Directorate, which began field and relief operations in Venezuela earlier this week.
A second Qatari aircraft carrying a similar quantity of medical, food and relief supplies is scheduled to depart from Amman on Friday.
The aid aims to strengthen the response capabilities of the relevant authorities, support Venezuela's healthcare sector and provide essential assistance to those affected by the earthquakes.
The assistance is part of Jordan's ongoing humanitarian efforts, carried out under the directives of King Abdullah II, to support countries and communities affected by natural disasters and crises by providing emergency relief and humanitarian assistance.
