Jordanian government says humanitarian airdrops ‘not substitute' for ground convoys in Gaza
LONDON: The Jordanian government emphasized its commitment to providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, ensuring that relief efforts remain free from political interference. Mohammed Momani, the minister of government communication, rejected claims suggesting that Jordan's aid efforts were 'solely political or outside the humanitarian scope.' He said Jordan aims for a ceasefire in Gaza and to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid. Momani added that Jordan's humanitarian airdrops across Gaza are not a replacement for ground convoys, which carry the largest quantities of aid. Jordan has carried out three airdrops of food and essentials since Sunday to assist Palestinians who are facing starvation due to the actions of the Israeli regime. He emphasized that the aid currently being provided is inadequate to address the needs of residents of the Palestinian coastal enclave. Jordan has sent six relief convoys recently, with the latest consisting of 60 aid trucks. Despite obstacles imposed by the Israeli government, Jordan is committed to continuing its aid delivery and stands in solidarity with the Palestinians, Momani added. He also reaffirmed Jordan's condemnation of the Israeli plan to annex the West Bank and Jordan Valley following the passage of a bill in the Knesset last week.

Jordan pledges continued pressure to deliver more Gaza aid: government spokesman
Jordan will continue to exert pressure to deliver more aid to Gaza, after a new convoy by the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) departed Amman today to the famine-stricken strip, government spokesman Mohammad Momani said on Thursday. In statements to Roya, Momani emphasized that despite all obstacles, Jordan is 'proud to be among the first to initiate and send aid.' He stressed that "Israeli obstacles remain the primary impediment to aid reaching Gaza,' but will continue to use 'all tools at its disposal to pressure for more aid.' Momani added that the aid currently reaching Gaza "is only a small fraction of what is needed," adding, "but this should not diminish the importance of the aid or the humanitarian nobility it represents." He also vowed that the government will pursue legal action against any party who 'exploits the issue of Jordanian aid to Gaza to malign the country and its consistent positions.'
