Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization Sends New Humanitarian Aid Convoy to Gaza - Jordan News

Jordan News13-07-2025
Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization Sends New Humanitarian Aid Convoy to Gaza The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), in cooperation with the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army, dispatched a new humanitarian aid convoy to the Gaza Strip on Sunday. اضافة اعلان Secretary-General of the JHCO, Hussein Shibli, stated that the convoy consists of 50 trucks loaded with essential food supplies, with a particular focus on flour. Shibli emphasized that the resumption of aid convoys reflects Jordan's unwavering commitment—under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II—to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people. He also highlighted the importance of collaboration with the World Food Programme to enhance food security in Gaza, noting that the JHCO has been working daily in recent weeks to implement food projects inside the strip, including operating bakeries and community kitchens, and distributing food and clean water. The aid will be distributed within Gaza in coordination with local partners to ensure that it reaches the most affected families. The JHCO had resumed sending aid convoys to Gaza last Wednesday, in cooperation with the Jordan Armed Forces. This renewed effort comes amid the ongoing deterioration of humanitarian and living conditions in Gaza, making Jordanian aid a vital pillar of support and resilience. Jordan's humanitarian assistance is among the most effective and consistent, and is deeply appreciated by the people of Gaza due to its significant and direct impact on their daily lives. The JHCO continues to coordinate with the Jordan Armed Forces and international organizations to ensure the sustained delivery of relief aid in line with on-the-ground needs, helping to alleviate the suffering of those in the Gaza Strip.

More than 100 NGOs warn 'mass starvation' spreading across Gaza

More than 100 aid organisations and human rights groups warned on Wednesday that "mass starvation" was spreading in Gaza, as the United States said its top envoy was heading to Europe for talks on a possible ceasefire and aid corridor. 'Israel' is facing mounting international pressure over the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, where more than two million people are facing severe shortages of food and other essentials after 21 months of war. But it denied blocking supplies, announcing that 950 trucks' worth of aid were in Gaza and waiting for international agencies to collect and distribute it. "We have not identified starvation at this current point in time but we understand that action is required to stabilise the humanitarian situation," an unnamed senior 'Israeli' security official was quoted as saying by the Times of Israel. On the ground, the 'Israeli' military said it was operating in Gaza City and the north, and claimed it had hit dozens of "terror targets" across the Palestinian territory. Gaza's civil defence agency told AFP that 'Israeli' strikes killed 10 people overnight. 'Wasting away' The United Nations said on Tuesday that 'Israeli' forces had killed more than 1,000 Palestinians trying to get food since the US- and 'Israel'-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) started operations in late May -- effectively sidelining the longstanding UN-led system. A statement with 111 signatories, including Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Save the Children and Oxfam, warned that "our colleagues and those we serve are wasting away". The groups called for an immediate negotiated ceasefire, the opening of all land crossings and the free flow of aid through UN-led mechanisms. The United States said its envoy Steve Witkoff will head to Europe this week for talks on Gaza and may then visit the Middle East. Witkoff comes with "a strong hope that we will come forward with another ceasefire as well as a humanitarian corridor for aid to flow, that both sides have in fact agreed to," State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters. Even after 'Israel' began easing a more than two-month aid blockade in late May, Gaza's population is still suffering extreme scarcities. 'Israel' claims humanitarian aid is being allowed into Gaza and accuses Hamas of exploiting civilian suffering, including by stealing food handouts to sell at inflated prices or shooting at those awaiting aid. GHF said in a statement that the United Nations, which refuses to work with it, "has a capacity and operational problem" and called for "more collaboration" to deliver life-saving aid. 'Hope and heartbreak' In their statement, the humanitarian organisations said warehouses with tonnes of supplies were sitting untouched just outside the territory, and even inside, as they were blocked from delivering the goods. "Palestinians are trapped in a cycle of hope and heartbreak, waiting for assistance and ceasefires, only to wake up to worsening conditions," the signatories said. "It is not just physical torment, but psychological. Survival is dangled like a mirage," they added. "The humanitarian system cannot run on false promises. Humanitarians cannot operate on shifting timelines or wait for political commitments that fail to deliver access." UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the "horror" facing Palestinians in Gaza under 'Israeli' military attack was unprecedented in recent years. The head of Gaza's largest hospital said Tuesday that 21 children had died due to malnutrition and starvation in the Palestinian territory over the previous three days. Mediators have been shuttling between 'Israeli' and Hamas negotiators in Doha since July 6 in search of an elusive truce, with expectations that Witkoff would join the talks as they entered their final stages.

Israeli Occupation Continues Targeting Paramedics, Starving Civilians, and Displaced Persons in Gaza - Jordan News

Israeli Occupation Continues Targeting Paramedics, Starving Civilians, and Displaced Persons in Gaza Israeli occupation forces targeted an ambulance early Wednesday near Hamad Hospital in the northwestern part of Gaza City, injuring several paramedics, according to Palestinian medical sources. اضافة اعلان Separately, Palestinian media outlets reported, citing the Medical Services Administration, that seven Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City. In another development, Palestinian media shared footage showing Israeli drones chasing and targeting a starving woman and child who were searching for food and water in Gaza City, killing both. According to local sources, Israeli drones also bombed homes in Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza early Wednesday, while Israeli tanks opened heavy fire east of the camp. Simultaneously, Israeli forces carried out new demolition operations targeting homes in the eastern areas of Gaza City. Israeli warplanes also launched multiple strikes overnight on Deir al-Balah and its surroundings in central Gaza, according to Palestinian sources, while occupation forces fired illumination flares in the skies above the city. The strikes come amid continued incursions by Israeli forces into the southern and eastern parts of Deir al-Balah. In another attack, a young girl was killed and others injured when Israeli forces bombed a displaced persons' tent in Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, late Tuesday night. This bombing follows less than 24 hours after a massacre committed by Israeli forces against displaced people in the same camp.
