Ammon News - Under royal directives to aid those injured and the families of the victims of the earthquake that hit Turkiye and Syria, the first of several aid planes took off Tuesday evening, loaded with rescue equipment, tents, logistical and medical materials, in addition to a highly trained Jordanian rescue team that includes 99 people from the Jordanian International Search and Rescue Team, and five doctors from the Jordanian Royal Medical Services.

According to a statement released Tuesday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) on Monday evening reached out to the concerned authorities in Syria and Turkiye, and began making the necessary preparations to send basic aid to the areas affected by the earthquake to take part in the rescue operations.

The JHCO is the only entity in the Kingdom responsible for raising and delivering aid, the statement underscored, and any cash or in-kind donations will be delivered through the organization.
