AMMAN — The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO), in cooperation with Khair Al Urdun Endowment, on Tuesday distributed hot meals to families in Gaza.

 

The initiative aims to support residents and ease the difficult living conditions the people of Gaza endure amid ongoing crises, as part of Jordan’s ongoing humanitarian efforts to provide vital assistance to the besieged enclave, according to a JHCO statement.

 

Jordan also operates two military field hospitals in Gaza: the first in the Strip’s north and was established in 2009 following the 2008 war, and the second in Khan Younis in the south, which was set up in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli war on Gaza.

 

Together, the hospitals have provided critical treatment to tens of thousands of patients and conducted hundreds of surgeries. In addition, the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) established a field hospital in Nablus in late November 2023 to serve communities in the West Bank.

 

To address severe food shortages, the Kingdom, in cooperation with JHCO and international partners, has launched several bakeries across Gaza. A mobile bakery with a capacity of 3,500 loaves per hour was dispatched in cooperation with World Central Kitchen, while daily bakeries in southern and northern Gaza now produce between 35,000 and 40,000 loaves, supplying thousands of displaced families.

 

Jordan has also maintained land and air bridges for aid delivery. The JAF has carried out multiple airdrops and participated in numerous joint missions with international partners, delivering substantial humanitarian aid and essential supplies into Gaza. Jordan has also dispatched aid convoys to the besieged Strip.

 

The Restoring Hope initiative, launched under Royal directives in September 2024, continues to provide prosthetic limbs to war amputees in Gaza.
