The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO): Donations made to the organization reached the people of Gaza without deducting any amount or incurring any type of costs or fees.
Amman - The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization expressed its astonishment and rejection of a London-based website publishing misleading content that spreads lies and false accusations against the Jordanian humanitarian and relief efforts, which have been ongoing since late 2023 to support the people of Gaza. اضافة اعلان The organization's media office stated that the news website, which publishes content in English, had, at the end of the working day on Thursday, requested the organization to respond to a set of questions that were biased, accusatory, and based on what it termed as 'allegations' requiring a response. It explained that the website demanded answers within three hours, suggesting a premeditated intention to publish the material without any response, aiming to tarnish Jordan's image and undermine its role. The purpose of questioning the organization appeared to be creating the impression of neutrality and objectivity, while the website's administrators were aware that such questions required time to ensure accuracy, transparency, and clarity, especially as the questions were open-ended and accusatory, targeting a multi-faceted relief effort without accurately representing any single activity, thereby misleading readers with false information. The media office emphasized that the donations made to the organization were delivered to the people of Gaza without deducting any amount or incurring any costs or fees. Regarding financial costs, the media office clarified that Jordan covered the expenses of land convoys, air drops, the air bridge, and flights through Al-Arish before several countries and organizations joined these relief efforts. Concerning the costs associated with air drops, the media office noted that Jordan fully covered the financial expenses of its purely Jordanian air drops, totaling 125, while friendly and brotherly countries covered the costs of the air drops they requested to participate in, totaling 266. These figures were announced after each air drop operation, identifying the participating countries. The media office further clarified that the cost of one air drop exceeded the figures reported by the news website. The cost of a free air drop amounted to approximately $210,000, while the cost of a GPS-guided air drop reached up to $450,000. Details of these financial costs are documented and available to the countries and international organizations involved in the operations. The office stressed that these figures only reflect the cost of a single air drop and that the website's false claim that Jordan profited from the operation is both shameful and defamatory, lacking in accuracy and professionalism. Regarding the air bridge in addition to the free air drops, the total number of aircraft used to transport relief materials was 102, with Jordan covering the costs. Italy also participated with 11 military aircraft. The total weight of the materials transported via the air bridge amounted to around 122 tons, with financial costs being lower than those of air drops. Concerning land convoys, Jordan bore the full costs of the convoys dispatched, especially during the early months of the war on Gaza, before other countries and international organizations joined the effort and covered the expenses of their participation. The costs followed transparent international standards, with strict oversight and documented receipts. The cost of a single truck was $2,200, covering only insurance fees, operating expenses, maintenance, and fuel. The media office reported that the direct costs borne by Jordan to support the people of Gaza amounted to tens of millions, while the indirect costs on the Jordanian state reached hundreds of millions. In light of these figures and the humanitarian tragedy, it is disgraceful and dishonest to speak of hundreds of thousands of dollars being profited from, as falsely claimed by the website. The media office highlighted that Jordan currently operates two hospitals, a prosthetics clinic, and a mobile bakery in Gaza, in addition to a hospital in Nablus and two medical stations in Ramallah and Jenin. The media office affirmed that the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization intends to take legal action against the website for spreading rumors and false, accusatory information. The organization will also pursue all those who circulated or propagated these lies. The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization reiterates that such reports cannot obscure the evident facts, which clearly indicate Jordan's historic and proud humanitarian stance, honored by every Jordanian, Arab, and honorable person. The organization will not tolerate or remain silent in the face of the deliberate distortion and defamation perpetrated by the website. If the website were truly concerned for the people of Gaza, it would have focused on highlighting these efforts and the financial sacrifices made by the Jordanian people for their Palestinian brothers, rather than making feeble attempts to tarnish Jordan's image for malicious and misleading purposes.

JHCO refutes false claims made by London-based outlet on Gaza airdrops
The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) has expressed its dismay and rejection of what it described as 'false and defamatory' claims published by a London-based website regarding Jordan's humanitarian aid efforts for Gaza since late 2023. In a statement, the JHCO's media office said the English-language news outlet sent a series of 'biased and accusatory' questions late Thursday, demanding answers within three hours—an approach the organization said suggested a premeditated intent to publish the article without a response in order to distort Jordan's image. The organization emphasized that the questions were based on what the outlet called 'allegations,' requiring time to address with the accuracy and transparency necessary for complex and multi-layered humanitarian operations. The JHCO stressed that all donations it received were delivered in full to Gaza, with no deductions for operational costs. Regarding financial costs, the media office clarified that Jordan bore the full expenses of land convoys, airdrops, air bridges, and air shipments via Al-Arish in the early phases of the conflict, before international organizations and countries joined the relief efforts. The statement noted that Jordan funded all of its 125 exclusive airdrop missions, while 266 other airdrops were financed by participating countries. The cost of one airdrop ranged from USD 210,000 for air free dropped from the plane to USD 450,000 for GPS-guided missions, according to documentation shared with involved international partners. 'The cost figures cited by the website are inaccurate and significantly lower than reality,' the JHCO said, adding that the accusation that Jordan profited from these efforts is 'a disgraceful and unfounded fabrication.' The air bridge, in addition to the airdrops, involved 102 aid flights funded by Jordan, while Italy contributed 11 aircraft operated by its armed forces. The total weight of aid delivered via the air bridge exceeded 122 tons, with costs lower than those of airdrops. For land convoys, the JHCO stated that Jordan covered all initial transport costs before international partners joined in. Each truck cost approximately USD 2,200—covering insurance, fuel, maintenance, and operational expenses—and all contributions were processed under strict monitoring with documented receipts. The direct costs borne by Jordan in support of Gaza amount to tens of millions of dollars, the JHCO said, while indirect national expenses are in the hundreds of millions. It called the article's claim that Jordan profited 'shameful, dishonest, and disgracefully detached from the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.' The JHCO also highlighted its ongoing medical presence in the West Bank and Gaza, including two field hospitals, a prosthetics clinic, and a mobile bakery inside Gaza, as well as medical stations in Ramallah and Jenin and a hospital in Nablus. The organization announced its intention to pursue legal action against the website for spreading defamatory and misleading information, and said it would hold accountable anyone who shared or circulated the claims. 'Such false narratives cannot obscure the clear truth of Jordan's historic and proud humanitarian stance,' the JHCO said.
