Under Royal directives .. Jordan sends aid convoy to southern Syria

Ammon23-07-2025
Ammon News - Under royal directives, the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), in coordination with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, dispatched a food and medical aid convoy to our brothers in the Syrian Arab Republic on Wednesday.
The aid convoy arrived in southern Syria just hours after Jordanian aid was sent to the Gaza Strip, reflecting Jordan's support for its Arab brothers and sisters during these exceptional circumstances.
JHCO Secretary-General, Hussein Shibli, said that coordination had taken place with the Syrian government to bring in aid through the Jaber/Nassib border crossing, in preparation for transporting the aid to the residents through the Syrian Red Crescent and distributing it to those who deserve it.
A convoy of 10 trucks set off after being loaded from the JHCO's warehouses with the necessary food supplies, especially flour, as well as medicines, medical supplies and consumables, Shibli noted.
In addition, Shibli indicated that this aid comes as a form of support for our brothers and sisters in Syria, following the difficult circumstances their people have endured due to the bloody events that occurred last week.
