Jordan receives new group of injured children from Gaza
Jordan welcomed a new group of injured children from Gaza on Wednesday as part of its ongoing humanitarian efforts to provide medical care for residents of the war-torn enclave. The children arrived through the King Hussein Bridge crossing, accompanied by family members or guardians. They were immediately transferred to specialized hospitals in Jordan for treatment, depending on each child's medical condition. This initiative reflects Jordan's continued commitment to supporting the Palestinian people and alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, especially amid the ongoing destruction of the enclave's health care system due to the war.

At least 20 dead as aid truck overturns in central Gaza
At least 20 Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured early Wednesday when a truck loaded with food aid overturned in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah, according to Palestinian medical sources. The truck was reportedly driving along an unprepared, makeshift road when it tipped over as large crowds of civilians gathered around it, attempting to reach the desperately needed supplies. The chaos resulted in the vehicle overturning directly into the crowd. Medical officials confirmed that the majority of the victims were displaced persons and residents from severely affected areas who have been struggling with extreme food insecurity. Witnesses report that the victims had been waiting for hours to receive the aid being distributed. The incident is the latest in a string of fatal aid-related accidents in the besieged enclave, where access to food, water, and medical assistance remains critically limited. In recent months, hundreds have been killed or wounded during chaotic aid distributions, as international organizations continue to warn of a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation.

Gaza receives just 85 aid trucks per day despite ‘Israeli' pledge to ease restrictions
Despite an 'Israeli' announcement to partially ease restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza starting July 27, only 769 trucks have entered the Strip over a nine-day period, averaging just 85 trucks per day, far short of the minimum 500 to 600 daily trucks needed to meet basic humanitarian needs, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). The Government Media Office in Gaza shared the figures with Al Jazeera, highlighting that aid deliveries remain critically low amid growing warnings of mass starvation and the ongoing collapse of the healthcare system. The daily breakdown of aid trucks allowed into Gaza is as follows: Despite minor fluctuations, humanitarian agencies say the numbers remain dangerously low for a population that has been under blockade and intense bombardment for nearly 10 months. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and other aid groups have repeatedly called for unimpeded access and a significant increase in aid flow to prevent further deterioration of living conditions in Gaza.
