Jordan dispatches fifth humanitarian convoy to Gaza in 10 days
AMMAN — The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) on Thursday sent a new humanitarian aid convoy to Gaza, intensifying its relief efforts amid the deepening humanitarian crisis in the besieged Strip. Organized in cooperation with World Central Kitchen and the World Food Programme (WFP), the convoy consists of 50 trucks carrying essential food items, including flour and infant formula. The supplies are part of ongoing response to the severe shortages of food and basic necessities faced by residents in Gaza. According to a JHCO statement, the shipment also includes ingredients used to prepare hot meals distributed by World Central Kitchen teams in Gaza, as well as large quantities of grains and cooking oil intended to support thousands of families in need, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. This latest convoy marks the fifth coordinated delivery of humanitarian aid from Jordan in partnership with international organizations within a 10-day span. A total of 147 trucks were sent in the previous four convoys. On Wednesday, a separate convoy of 36 trucks entered the war-torn Strip through the Zikim border crossing, after World Central Kitchen facilitated the entry and distribution of supplies.

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.'

Safadi: Knesset Decision Legally Void; The West Bank Will Remain Purely Palestinian Land - Jordan News
Safadi: Knesset Decision Legally Void; The West Bank Will Remain Purely Palestinian Land Speaker of the Jordanian House of Representatives, Ahmad Safadi, strongly condemned the proposal approved by the Israeli Knesset on Wednesday, which calls for imposing what is referred to as 'Israeli sovereignty' over the West Bank. اضافة اعلان Safadi asserted that the decision is legally void, violates international laws and resolutions, and constitutes a blatant infringement on the rights of the Palestinian people. He emphasized that it also breaches the Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty, stressing that the West Bank will remain purely Palestinian land despite the schemes of Israeli extremists. In a statement issued by the House of Representatives, Safadi described the Knesset's decision as a prelude to the displacement of the Palestinian people—an outcome that neither Jordan nor the Palestinian people, who remain steadfast in their land and committed to their independent state on their national soil, will ever accept. He added that these Israeli measures represent a flagrant breach of the peace treaty and threaten both regional and global stability and security. Safadi reaffirmed that Jordan, which has long championed peace and believed in it, remains committed to international legitimacy and resolutions that guarantee Palestinian rights. He called for more effective and genuine international action to push forward the two-state solution, end the war on Gaza, and ensure the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged Strip, which is enduring some of the most horrific acts of violence and starvation in modern history. He also praised the ongoing efforts of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) in delivering aid to Gaza—most recently through convoys that entered the Strip today. He likewise acknowledged the JHCO's aid to Syrian communities, as announced today, in light of the recent distressing events in southern Syria. – (Petra)

Jordan dispatches trucks with flour as starvation spreads in war-torn Gaza
LONDON: Jordan has dispatched dozens of food trucks to the Palestinian coastal enclave of the Gaza Strip this week, with the latest delivery of flour on Wednesday to help Palestinians amid the Israeli military campaign in the territory. The country's charitable arm, Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization, or JHCO, announced that the latest aid convoy entered through the Zikim border crossing, also known as Erez West, in northern Gaza. This week, the JHCO coordinated with the country's armed forces, World Central Kitchen, or WCK, and the World Food Program, or WFP, to dispatch four food convoys to Gaza. A total of 147 trucks delivered essential food supplies and humanitarian aid, primarily flour. The JHCO and WFP facilitated the entry of 111 trucks, while WCK arranged for the remaining 36 trucks, reaffirming their commitment to oversee the distribution of supplies to affected residents. عبور قافلة مساعدات إلى شمال غزة لصالح منظمة 'المطبخ المركزي العالمي" وضمّت القافلة ما مجموعه 36 شاحنة محمّلة بالمواد الغذائية، تم إدخالها تباعًا إلى المناطق الشمالية من القطاع، حيث يعاني القطاع من أوضاع إنسانية صعبة نتيجة تصاعد الأعمال العدائية والانقطاع المتكرر لسلاسل الإمداد. — JHCO (@_jhco) July 23, 2025 Videos on social media shared by Jordanian journalists show Palestinians carrying sacks of flour from distribution points in northern Gaza on Wednesday. Efforts to deliver aid through international organizations have encountered persistent challenges, especially at the Israeli border, where convoys are often delayed, according to JHCO. Some obstacles include the use of live ammunition against individuals approaching the crossings to obtain aid, it added. The Gaza Strip continues to face instability and occasional direct attacks on aid convoys as well as attempts to loot supplies and hinder the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance, the charity added.

Under Royal directives .. Jordan sends aid convoy to southern Syria
Ammon News - Under royal directives, the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), in coordination with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, dispatched a food and medical aid convoy to our brothers in the Syrian Arab Republic on Wednesday. The aid convoy arrived in southern Syria just hours after Jordanian aid was sent to the Gaza Strip, reflecting Jordan's support for its Arab brothers and sisters during these exceptional circumstances. JHCO Secretary-General, Hussein Shibli, said that coordination had taken place with the Syrian government to bring in aid through the Jaber/Nassib border crossing, in preparation for transporting the aid to the residents through the Syrian Red Crescent and distributing it to those who deserve it. A convoy of 10 trucks set off after being loaded from the JHCO's warehouses with the necessary food supplies, especially flour, as well as medicines, medical supplies and consumables, Shibli noted. In addition, Shibli indicated that this aid comes as a form of support for our brothers and sisters in Syria, following the difficult circumstances their people have endured due to the bloody events that occurred last week.
