Ammon News - The Foreign Ministry has said that Jordan is ready to resume the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Gaza as soon as Israel lifts restrictions.

In a statement on Saturday, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Fuad Majali, underlined the “urgent need” for an end to Israeli military operations in Gaza, opening humanitarian corridors, and ensuring the entry of aid across the besieged enclave.

The Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) Hussein Shibli has recently said that the Kingdom’s political, diplomatic, and coordination efforts are ongoing to resume the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza through the Jordanian relief corridor, which has been suspended since a recent border incident.

Speaking to Al Mamlaka TV, Shibli said the incident at the King Hussein Bridge/Al Karameh crossing disrupted aid delivery, despite JHCO warehouses holding supplies equivalent to more than 1,000 truckloads, ready for dispatch once the route is reopened from the other side.

Israel halted the entry of aid from Jordan on September 18 after a shooting incident at the crossing that killed several Israeli soldiers.

Shibli said that the JHCO has intensified operations inside the besieged Strip, particularly in central and southern areas, where displacement has surged, noting that its initiatives, including community kitchens and bakeries, have so far benefited 2.3 million people.

To date, Jordan has sent 201 aid convoys carrying 8,664 trucks of humanitarian supplies to Gaza, Shibli said, stressing that the Jordanian initiative to support amputees, known as “Restoring Hope”, remains ongoing, with 599 beneficiaries so far.

Shibli said the JHCO continues to work with international organisations and partner countries to secure sustainable support, especially with the onset of winter.
