Jordan dispatches trucks with flour as starvation spreads in war-torn Gaza
LONDON: Jordan has dispatched dozens of food trucks to the Palestinian coastal enclave of the Gaza Strip this week, with the latest delivery of flour on Wednesday to help Palestinians amid the Israeli military campaign in the territory. The country's charitable arm, Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization, or JHCO, announced that the latest aid convoy entered through the Zikim border crossing, also known as Erez West, in northern Gaza. This week, the JHCO coordinated with the country's armed forces, World Central Kitchen, or WCK, and the World Food Program, or WFP, to dispatch four food convoys to Gaza. A total of 147 trucks delivered essential food supplies and humanitarian aid, primarily flour. The JHCO and WFP facilitated the entry of 111 trucks, while WCK arranged for the remaining 36 trucks, reaffirming their commitment to oversee the distribution of supplies to affected residents. عبور قافلة مساعدات إلى شمال غزة لصالح منظمة 'المطبخ المركزي العالمي" وضمّت القافلة ما مجموعه 36 شاحنة محمّلة بالمواد الغذائية، تم إدخالها تباعًا إلى المناطق الشمالية من القطاع، حيث يعاني القطاع من أوضاع إنسانية صعبة نتيجة تصاعد الأعمال العدائية والانقطاع المتكرر لسلاسل الإمداد. — JHCO (@_jhco) July 23, 2025 Videos on social media shared by Jordanian journalists show Palestinians carrying sacks of flour from distribution points in northern Gaza on Wednesday. Efforts to deliver aid through international organizations have encountered persistent challenges, especially at the Israeli border, where convoys are often delayed, according to JHCO. Some obstacles include the use of live ammunition against individuals approaching the crossings to obtain aid, it added. The Gaza Strip continues to face instability and occasional direct attacks on aid convoys as well as attempts to loot supplies and hinder the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance, the charity added.
