On November 30, 2024, JHCO and JAF sent a 50-truck aid convoy to Gaza, containing vital food and medical supplies. This operation represents Jordan’s commitment, which has previously included the entry of over 4,300 aid trucks and numerous airdrops since the onset of the humanitarian crisis in the area.
On November 30, 2024, the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO), in partnership with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) and the World Food Programme (WFP), dispatched a humanitarian aid convoy comprising 50 trucks to the Gaza Strip. This convoy, filled with essential supplies including food, medical equipment, and hygiene items, aims to assist the beleaguered population of Gaza, emphasizing Jordan’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian support in the region.
JHCO Secretary General Hussein Shibli highlighted the scale of Jordan’s humanitarian efforts, noting that to date, the country has facilitated the entry of 4,326 aid trucks into Gaza and 53 aircraft deliveries via Egypt’s Al Arish airport. Furthermore, JAF has conducted 124 airdrops and collaborated on an additional 266 operations with various partner nations to ensure aid reaches those in critical need.
On November 20, JAF reported the deployment of eight helicopters carrying over seven tonnes of aid to Gaza as part of a broader initiative to provide vital supplies to those affected by conflict. These actions come at the behest of His Majesty King Abdullah, who has consistently advocated for increased global support and humanitarian action during his appeals at the United Nations and the Arab and Islamic summits. The shipments are managed in cooperation with the United Nations World Food Programme for distribution in Gaza.
The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by conflict and blockades, has prompted Jordan to play a significant role in providing relief efforts. The Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) has been at the forefront of coordinating these efforts alongside the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) and international organizations such as the World Food Programme (WFP). This latest convoy reflects Jordan’s strategic commitment to aid delivery, which has seen thousands of trucks and aircraft transporting crucial supplies into Gaza.
In summary, the latest aid convoy dispatched by the JHCO and JAF underscores Jordan’s persistent determination to offer humanitarian assistance to Gaza. By facilitating the entry of thousands of supplies and executing numerous emergency operations, Jordan plays a crucial role in alleviating the suffering of those affected by the current crisis in the region. Such concerted efforts highlight the importance of international solidarity in addressing humanitarian needs.
