He added that Jordan successfully found a new
route to directly deliver aid to Gaza via the King Hussein Bridge, Al-Mamlaka
TV reported.
Mubaidin pointed out that the
Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) and the
World Food Program (WFP) sent a convoy
consisting of 46 trucks loaded with 750 tons of essential food supplies to the
strip. The aid was transported via the Al-Auja crossing, then to Gaza via the
Kerem Shalom border crossing.
The minister affirmed that this step is a
victory in sustaining the delivery of aid to Gaza. He noted that this new route
through the Kerem Shalom crossing is shorter and ensures faster delivery due to
the pressures faced in
Rafah and hindrances from Israeli forces.
He highlighted His Majesty’s efforts since the
beginning of the war. Since October, His Majesty conducted several
international visits to Arab and Western countries; procuring
humanitarian relief to Gaza. As well as calling for an immediate ceasefire and the
protection of Palestinians in their homeland.
Mubaidin pointed to the vital role of
Jordanians and the private sector in donating to the JHCO, commending them for
their tenacious loyalty for the Palestinian cause.
As for the
Jordanian Field Hospital in
southern Gaza, Mubaidin confirmed that the continuing efforts of the hospital
is a sign of Jordan’s unwavering support of Gaza. Their goal is to provide all
forms of support and assistance to the people in the region.
Finally, Mubaidin mentioned the sixth airdrop
operation of medical aid to the Jordanian Field Hospital South, conducted by a
Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft on Wednesday, in order to sustain the
hospital's operations to continue providing health and medical services. The
aid was dropped using specially designed boxes to ensure the protection of
medical materials.
