JAF, JHCO send humanitarian aid to Gaza

AMMAN — A new humanitarian aid convoy for the people in northern Gaza, consisting of 50 trucks, was dispatched by the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) and the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO), in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP) and supported by various organisations.

According to a statement by the JHCO on Thursday, cited by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, the convoy carried essential food parcels, children's meals, medical supplies and medicines, to be distributed through partner associations and organisations in the Gaza Strip.

JHCO Secretary-General Hussein Shibli said that the Kingdom's efforts to send and deliver diverse humanitarian aid to the people of the Gaza Strip are still ongoing.

He pointed out that the convoy was sent to the northern part of the strip due to the severe shortages of food, medicine and water, ensuring the continuity of life for residents of the area.

Shibli explained that the total number of land trucks that have entered the Gaza Strip to date is 2,424, in addition to 53 planes through El Arish.

The JHCO continues to receive cash donations through its bank account at Bank Al Etihad, account number JO32 UBSI 1030 0000 4010 1659 9151 06 or through e-wallets or CliQ at JHCOGAZA, as well as via "eFAWATEERcom" and through their website www.jhco.org.jo.
