Jordan resumes aid convoys to Gaza
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.

Belgium authorities arrest two 'Israeli' soldiers after war crimes complaint
Belgian federal police have detained two 'Israeli' soldiers accused of committing war crimes in Gaza, following a legal complaint filed by two international rights organizations. According to a statement released Monday by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), the soldiers were in Belgium to attend the Tomorrowland music festival in Boom when they were identified and arrested. "The suspects were identified and arrested with a clear show of force at the Tomorrowland festival in Boom," HRF stated. "After being taken into custody, they were formally interrogated and released. The Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that a criminal investigation is now underway." The HRF's action was prompted by the alleged presence of young 'Israeli' soldiers at Tomorrowland waving the flag of the 'Israeli' Givati Brigade, a unit the HRF says is "extensively documented for its role in the systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza and for carrying out mass atrocities against the Palestinian population". The foundation asserts that the Givati flag has become a "symbol of impunity, destruction, and ethnic cleansing". The individuals are accused of direct involvement in crimes such as indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, use of torture and human shields, mass arbitrary detention, forced displacement, and deliberate infliction of conditions calculated to destroy the Palestinian population. The complaint, filed last week by HRF and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN), accuses the soldiers of involvement in war crimes committed during 'Israel's' military operations in Gaza. In a joint statement, the two organizations welcomed the move, calling it "a significant step forward." They added, "It signals that Belgium has recognised its jurisdiction under international law and is treating the allegations with the seriousness they deserve. "At a time when far too many governments remain silent, this action sends a clear message: credible evidence of international crimes must be met with legal response – not political indifference."
