Ammon News - Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, Ayman Safadi, confirmed that the aid and airdrops into the Gaza Strip do not meet the humanitarian needs of the Strip.

During a press conference with the Vatican Foreign Minister, Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, Safadi said that Israel does not allow aid to reach hundreds of thousands in the northern Gaza Strip, pointing out that the United Nations report shows that 15% of the children if the Strip suffer from the highest levels of hunger and suffering.

The airdrops meet only 4% of the real needs of the people of the Gaza Strip, Safadi added, noting that these airdrops were carried out under royal directives and under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II himself, in addition to sending aid across the King Hussein Bridge in cooperation with the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and some other countries.

Palestinians today are being killed by the occupation's bullet on one hand and by starving them on the other hand by depriving them of their right to food and medicine. Therefore, Jordan and all countries are working to end this humanitarian catastrophe that will not end until the end of the aggression and allowing the entry of aid into all parts of the Gaza Strip, the Foreign Minister stated.

Safadi warned that tampering with Al-Aqsa Mosque is tampering with fire, and that the illegal measures that Israel continues to take, such as building settlements, attacking cities, not allowing worshipers to perform their religious rituals during the holy month of Ramadan, and restricting their freedom of access to Al-Aqsa Mosque, are pushing towards an explosion in the situation there.
