Jordan dispatches 50-truck humanitarian convoy to Gaza
This convoy, which is in direct coordination with the Jordanian Armed Forces - the Arab Army, and in cooperation with the World Food Programme (WFP), is an extension of Jordan's ongoing support since the beginning of the crisis, amid the sharp deterioration in humanitarian conditions within the Gaza Strip, particularly in the northern regions, which are facing severe food shortages and ongoing disruptions to supply chains.
The aid is being sent as part of an emergency response plan, which is being closely monitored by relevant authorities to ensure that food aid reaches the most affected families through carefully considered distribution mechanisms in coordination with local partners in Gaza, JHCO confirmed.
JHCO affirms its commitment to continuing to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, reinforcing Jordan's steadfast role in supporting the steadfastness of our Palestinian brothers and alleviating their suffering amid the difficult circumstances they are experiencing.

Jordan brings large quantities of flour into Gaza
Ammon News - The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), in cooperation with international relief organizations and in coordination with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF), dispatched four land aid convoys to the Gaza Strip. The convoys carried essential food supplies, primarily flour, as part of Jordan's ongoing efforts to deliver humanitarian assistance. Additional relief convoys are being prepared, pending assurances regarding the secure delivery and distribution of the aid to those in need. A total of 147 trucks were sent through three convoys, coordinated with the World Food Program (WFP), which facilitated the entry of 111 trucks, and the World Central Kitchen, which arranged 36 trucks. The latest convoy, consisting of 36 trucks, entered on Tuesday after coordination between the JHCO and relevant parties, with logistical support from the World Central Kitchen. In a statement, the JHCO said that the most recent aid convoy entered through the "Zikim" border crossing following the World Central Kitchen's commitment to secure its entry and oversee the distribution of supplies to affected populations. Efforts to deliver aid through international organizations have faced ongoing challenges, particularly at the Israeli border, where convoys have frequently been delayed. Obstacles include the use of live ammunition against those approaching the crossings to receive aid. The area continues to suffer from instability, disruptions, and, occasionally, direct attacks on aid convoys, as well as attempts to loot supplies hindering the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance.

Jordan delivers major flour shipment to Gaza as humanitarian aid
A large quantity of flour arrived in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday as part of a humanitarian shipment organized by the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), continuing its efforts to provide essential supplies amid dire humanitarian conditions in the besieged territory. This delivery marks one of the largest flour shipments to enter Gaza and reflects the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's commitment to urgent humanitarian support for the Palestinian people, especially as basic goods remain scarce due to the ongoing blockade and deteriorating situation. The aid is expected to help alleviate the suffering of civilians, particularly in areas facing severe food insecurity, by supporting the daily production of bread, a vital staple for many. JHCO remains one of the key organizations providing consistent humanitarian assistance to Gaza, in line with Jordan's ongoing support for the Palestinian people across all humanitarian sectors.

Bang your pots for Gaza: Activists launch worldwide campaign against mass starvation
Activists are urging people worldwide to participate in a "pot-banging" demonstration daily at 6 PM local time, wherever they are, aiming to raise urgent awareness about the escalating famine in Gaza caused by the 'Israeli' blockade. The initiative, dubbed "Pot-Banging for Gaza," calls on participants to bang pots and pans from their windows or balconies for 2-5 minutes to highlight the dire humanitarian crisis caused by what organizers describe as 'Israel's' illegal blockade. It was inspired by a viral video shot on Monday in Nuseirat, central Gaza, where hungry children, men, and women banged on their empty pots demanding the opening of crossings. The World Food Programme said nearly one in three people in Gaza were not eating for days at a stretch and "thousands" were "on the verge of catastrophic hunger". The campaign emphasizes the growing number of Palestinians dying from hunger each day and seeks to galvanize widespread support from the comfort of people's homes. Participants are encouraged to record short videos of their actions, ideally displaying a Palestinian flag or keffiyeh to clearly communicate the protest's purpose. These videos are then to be shared on social media using the international hashtag #PotBangingForGaza. The protest method, known traditionally as "Cacerolazo," has a history of being used during times of public distress or political unrest. It gained renewed popularity during the COVID-19 lockdowns, when people in various cities and countries used it as a means of expressing solidarity with healthcare workers or protesting restrictions. "This is an action everyone can and should take part in – right from home," stated the organizers in a call to action, urging widespread sharing on all social media platforms and encouraging friends and family to join.
