AMMAN — The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) distributes between 3,000 and 4,000 food parcels daily across various areas of the Gaza Strip, JHCO Secretary General Hussein Shibli said on Sunday.
JHCO’s interventions include the distribution of potable water, food parcels and meals, flour, infant formula, frozen meat and vegetables, Shibli told Al Mamlaka TV.
He said that the organisation over the coming days is scheduled to deliver further aid and humanitarian interventions to address residents’ growing needs, noting that JHCO continues to support residents in the Gaza Strip in line with needs assessments and identified priorities.
The secretary-general also noted that potable water distribution meets an urgent need in the Strip, where residents face difficulties securing water and fuel that affect pumps in some areas.
Shibli said that the organisation continues to coordinate with local, regional and international partners to reach as many people in need as possible, noting that JHCO’s efforts cover the northern, central and southern areas of the Strip wherever access permits.
On potable water, Shibli stressed that its provision will remain a priority, given its importance as a basic necessity and the difficulties people face in accessing it under the current circumstances.
He also noted that JHCO continues to carry out shelter and health interventions, including the distribution of tarpaulins, medicines, medical supplies and equipment, as well as school maintenance, orphan sponsorships and other assistance, while humanitarian efforts in the Strip continue.
