10 Jordanian trucks carrying humanitarian aid crossed into Syria — JHCO

AMMAN — In line with Royal directives and ongoing efforts to support Syria, the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) said on Wednesday it sent a humanitarian aid convoy into Syria.

The 10-truck convoy, the first of its kind as part of Jordan's humanitarian response plan to alleviate the suffering of those affected in Syria, carried 200 tonnes of essential supplies, including food parcels and relief items to support affected families, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The relief operation is being carried out in coordination with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, as well as JHCO’s local and international partners, to ensure that aid reaches those who need it the most, according to Petra. 

The organisation said: "This initiative reflects the Hashemite leadership's ongoing commitment to humanitarian work and underscores Jordan's continued role in assisting Syrian citizens during the current circumstances."

JHCO also expressed its appreciation to all those involved in the effort and reiterated its commitment to providing humanitarian assistance with the highest standards of efficiency to ensure aid is delivered to those in need.
