JAF flies 16 helicopters with aid to Gaza

AMMAN — As part of Jordan's ongoing efforts to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip, 16 helicopters departed from King Abdullah II Air Base on Sunday, transporting critical supplies as part of the air bridge established last week.

The aircraft carried 20 tonnes of humanitarian and relief supplies, in cooperation with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation and several partner countries, ensuring the aid reaches those in need in Gaza, according to a Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF) statement.

The JAF reiterated its commitment to continuing the delivery of humanitarian and medical aid through the air bridge, expediting the transport of critical supplies, particularly medical treatments and equipment, to Gaza.

Since the launch of the air bridge, 56 Jordanian aircraft, alongside 6 Italian helicopters, have contributed to this vital operation, demonstrating international cooperation in response to the crisis.
