AMMAN — The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) on Thursday dispatched a new humanitarian aid convoy to Lebanon, in cooperation with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army and the Foreign Ministry.
The convoy, the eighth sent to support the Lebanese people, consisted of 19 trucks loaded with relief items, essential supplies, and a shipment of medicines intended for the Lebanese health sector and hospitals.
The aid was coordinated in cooperation with relevant authorities and the Civil-Military Cooperation Centre, according to a JHCO statement.
The shipment was prepared in coordination with the Lebanese High Relief Commission, based on lists of immediate needs and the field situation on the ground, to ensure that assistance reaches the sectors and groups most in need.
“These continuous Jordanian convoys aim to support critical sectors and ease the impact of difficult humanitarian conditions in Lebanon, reflecting the Kingdom's ongoing humanitarian role in standing by fraternal countries during crises,” the statement said.
The JHCO expressed its appreciation and thanks to the Syrian authorities for their extensive efforts in facilitating the smooth transit of the humanitarian convoys through Syrian territory to Lebanon.
The organisation reaffirmed its commitment to continuing the coordination of humanitarian and relief efforts with local and international partners to boost the resilience of affected communities and support vital sectors, mostly health and living security.
