Ammon News - Under Royal Directives, a Royal Jordanian Air Force C130 aircraft on Saturday departed to evacuate Jordanians from Lebanon, following the ongoing events there.

Jordanian nationals will be transported on board the plane and returned to their homeland in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, as part of the efforts made by the Kingdom to evacuate Jordanian nationals and transport them in times of crises and emergency events, by harnessing the capabilities and capacities to ensure their safety and provide all necessary means for their safe return to their homeland.

The plane, sent by the Jordanian Armed Forces in coordination with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), carried food, relief supplies, medicines and medical supplies.

The aid aims to support some sectors in Lebanon and help them overcome the difficult circumstances they are going through due to the shortage of these materials, based on their humanitarian and national duty.
