field hospital Gaza/77. Additionally, aircraft from Egypt, the US, and Germany
took part, marking Germany's first participation with the JAF, Al-Mamlaka TV

its commitment to continuing assistance to Palestinians in various
circumstances.
Furthermore, Major General Yousef Huneiti, Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs Staff, oversaw the preparation of Jordanian aid aircraft.
During his inspection at King Abdullah II Air Base, Huneiti
emphasized the continued international efforts to send aid to Gaza through
airlifts. He stressed the necessity of delivering more humanitarian aid to
support residents in facing food shortages resulting from the ongoing Israeli
war.
Huneiti also met with base personnel, conveying greetings
from His Majesty King Abdullah. He expressed pride in the distinguished level
of efficiency and professionalism that the JAF have achieved in carrying out
their tasks and duties.
JAF confirmed their ongoing efforts to send humanitarian and
medical aid through an air bridge, either from Marka Airport to El Arish
International Airport or through aerial drop operations in Gaza, along with
land aid convoys.
It's noteworthy that Jordan is working to coordinate
international efforts to deliver more aid to the people of the strip,
especially during Ramadan.
