25 Jordanian aid trucks enter Gaza — JHCO
AMMAN — Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) Hussein Shibli said on Monday that 25 food aid trucks have entered the besieged Gaza Strip, as part of Jordan's continued humanitarian relief efforts. In an interview with Al Mamlaka TV, Shibli said that 25 out of a planned 60 trucks had crossed into Gaza, despite persistent Israeli restrictions and repeated settler attacks. He added that preparations are underway to dispatch another convoy of 60 trucks, part of a broader plan to send a total of 180 trucks carrying essential supplies to the war-torn enclave. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing to secure Israeli approval for the entry of as many aid trucks as possible, Shibli noted, underlining that the aid is urgently needed amid dire shortages of food, water, and medical supplies caused by the ongoing blockade. 'This convoy is part of Jordan's steadfast commitment, led by His Majesty King Abdullah, the government, and the people, to stand by the Palestinians and provide life-saving assistance to Gaza,' the JHCO said. Meanwhile, the Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF), in cooperation with the UAE, carried out three humanitarian airdrops into Gaza on Sunday. The airdrops, which targeted multiple locations across the Strip, are part of Jordan's broader relief campaign in partnership with allied countries and international humanitarian organisations. According to a JAF statement, the operation aims to ease the suffering of Gaza's residents and help them cope with the devastating impact of the war. "While airdrops offer a critical means of reaching hard-to-access areas, Jordan continues to prioritise overland aid deliveries, which remain the most effective method for delivering large quantities of relief supplies," Shebli said. Jordan has been at the forefront of regional humanitarian efforts since the onset of the Israeli military campaign on Gaza in October 2023, continuing to send aid and advocate for urgent international action to address the worsening humanitarian catastrophe.

Jordan Armed Forces conduct three airdrops to deliver aid to Gaza Strip, one in cooperation with UAE - Jordan News
The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) and the United Arab Emirates on Sunday conducted three airdrops to deliver humanitarian aid and food to several locations in the Gaza Strip. اضافة اعلان The airdrops were carried out by Royal Jordanian Air Force and UAE Air Force C-130 aircraft, carrying 25 tonnes of food and basic necessities, in light of the difficult humanitarian conditions facing the Strip. These airdrops are a continuation of Jordan's ongoing efforts, in cooperation with other countries and partner humanitarian organisations, to support the Palestinian people, and in coordination with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO), in order to alleviate humanitarian suffering and support the people of Gaza in overcoming the challenges imposed by the war. The JAF have carried out 127 airdrops since the war started, in addition to 267 airdrops conducted in cooperation with other countries. Airdrops represent an additional means to deliver aid within a short time, allowing for the provision of urgent humanitarian and relief aid to areas that are difficult to access. However, airdrops do not supplant the delivery of aid by land, as ground convoys are the primary, most effective, and prioritised means of delivering aid. The JAF continue to dispatch aid convoys by land in coordination with the JHCO, the World Food Programme, and the World Central Kitchen, with the number of convoys sent since the start of the war standing at 181, comprising 7,932 trucks. As part of the medical response in Gaza, Jordanian field hospitals in the north and south of the Strip continue to provide treatment to injured and sick Gazans. So far, more than 120,588 patients have received treatment at the field hospital in the north of Gaza, while 362,389 patients have been treated at the field hospital in the south. More than 36,000 major and minor surgeries have been performed at these hospitals, and their cadres have fitted 532 upper and lower limb prostheses for Gazan amputees as part of the Restoring Hope Initiative. Also within Jordan's humanitarian efforts in support of Gaza, 112 injured and sick children, accompanied by 241 family members, have been evacuated for treatment in Jordanian hospitals as part of the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative launched by His Majesty King Abdullah II, which aims to treat 2,000 sick children from Gaza.
