Jordan brings large quantities of flour into Gaza

23-07-2025 01:58 PM


Ammon News - The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), in cooperation with international relief organizations and in coordination with the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF), dispatched four land aid convoys to the Gaza Strip.

The convoys carried essential food supplies, primarily flour, as part of Jordan’s ongoing efforts to deliver humanitarian assistance. Additional relief convoys are being prepared, pending assurances regarding the secure delivery and distribution of the aid to those in need.

A total of 147 trucks were sent through three convoys, coordinated with the World Food Program (WFP), which facilitated the entry of 111 trucks, and the World Central Kitchen, which arranged 36 trucks. The latest convoy, consisting of 36 trucks, entered on Tuesday after coordination between the JHCO and relevant parties, with logistical support from the World Central Kitchen.

In a statement, the JHCO said that the most recent aid convoy entered through the "Zikim" border crossing following the World Central Kitchen’s commitment to secure its entry and oversee the distribution of supplies to affected populations.

Efforts to deliver aid through international organizations have faced ongoing challenges, particularly at the Israeli border, where convoys have frequently been delayed. Obstacles include the use of live ammunition against those approaching the crossings to receive aid.

The area continues to suffer from instability, disruptions, and, occasionally, direct attacks on aid convoys, as well as attempts to loot supplies hindering the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance.
