These convoys will also carry donated blood supplies in response to urgent appeals from inside Gaza. The Jordan Medical Association, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and medical staff, organized a blood donation campaign, collecting 3,000 blood units.

Charity Commission: Israeli Occupation Obstructs Aid Flow; 150 Trucks Await Distribution - Jordan News

The Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), Dr. Hussein Al-Shibli, confirmed that the Israeli occupation is deliberately obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza amid a worsening food and humanitarian crisis in the besieged strip. اضافة اعلان Speaking to Husna Radio on Monday morning, Al-Shibli said the suffering endured by the people of Gaza—hunger, thirst, and systematic killing—defies description, adding that feelings of pain and responsibility now dominate all those working in the relief field. Expressing his own emotions and those of the aid teams monitoring the situation in Gaza, he stated: "One's heart breaks when witnessing what is happening. The sense of responsibility is overwhelming in light of the deliberate starvation, thirst, and killing of families." Arbitrary Measures and Intentional Obstruction of Aid Convoys Al-Shibli pointed out that Israel is engaging in unprecedented obstruction of aid delivery into Gaza. He explained that while trucks are being allowed to enter through the northern crossing, the occupation forces are preventing their contents from being distributed within Gaza. 'Three recent convoys, each comprising around 50 trucks, entered through the crossing but remained stuck there, with Israel preventing their distribution,' he said. Aid Workers Killed During Distributions He revealed that several relief workers inside Gaza have been killed while attempting to distribute food aid, highlighting the severe risks facing even those trying to save lives. He stressed that the organization is utilizing all available means—including coordination with the Jordanian Armed Forces and international organizations—to overcome these obstacles. Severe Shortages and Skyrocketing Costs Food supplies, especially flour, have become extremely scarce, Al-Shibli explained. The price of a single kilogram of flour in Gaza has now exceeded 30 Jordanian dinars. Some trucks cost as much as 600,000 dinars due to the extreme conditions and the unprecedented costs of transportation, storage, and distribution. Hundreds of Aid Trucks Ready for Daily Delivery Al-Shibli stated that the organization has large quantities of ready-to-ship food supplies and can sustain the entry of hundreds of aid trucks daily once clearance is granted. He emphasized that over 150 trucks loaded with flour and other essentials are currently inside Gaza but are still waiting for authorization to distribute their contents. Bakeries and Community Kitchens Still Operating Despite the crisis, the organization continues to operate several bakeries and community kitchens in northern and central Gaza, distributing bread and meals even amid severe shortages. Some bakeries have had to reduce daily output in order to reach as many needy families as possible. Royal Leadership in Diplomatic and Humanitarian Efforts Al-Shibli praised the tireless efforts led by His Majesty King Abdullah II on the international stage, including engagement with European and American leaders to secure the flow of humanitarian aid. He emphasized that these political efforts remain the most vital hope for preventing mass starvation in Gaza.
