JHCO Sends 35 more aid Trucks into war-torn Gaza as relief efforts continue
AMMAN — Jordan sent 35 aid trucks loaded with food into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, as part of the Kingdom's ongoing humanitarian response to the crisis in the besieged enclave, according to Hussein Shibli, Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO).
In remarks to Al Mamlaka TV, Shibli said the trucks were part of a larger 65-truck convoy, with the cargo distributed directly in northern Gaza. He noted that efforts were underway to coordinate the entry of the remaining vehicles, which were delayed by Israeli authorities.
Over the past several days, a total of 255 Jordanian aid trucks have entered the Strip, Shibli said, as part of a sustained series of convoys organised in partnership with local and international organizations.
'Jordan's relief efforts for Gaza have not stopped since the outbreak of the war,' Shibli said, adding that a total of 182 aid convoys, comprising more than 8,000 trucks, have been dispatched to date, carrying both food and medical supplies.
Besides land convoys, Jordan, through the JHCO and the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, has supported Gaza with airdrops and field hospitals, aimed at bolstering the enclave's struggling health sector, he said.
Shibli noted that the Jordanian relief corridor remains the only internationally recognised route for aid delivery to Gaza, as endorsed by the United Nations.
'Jordan was the first to break the siege and deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza,' he said, underscoring the Kingdom's continued commitment to alleviating the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.
