AMMAN — Jordan has dispatched over 8,664 humanitarian aid trucks to the Gaza Strip despite mounting challenges and repeated efforts to obstruct relief efforts, according to the Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO), Hussein Shibli.

 

Speaking to Al Mamlaka TV on Saturday, Shibli affirmed the Kingdom’s readiness to scale up its aid operations, noting Jordan's capacity to send over 150 trucks per day.

 

However, he said that Israeli authorities have failed to honour commitments to facilitate the entry of food and humanitarian supplies into the besieged enclave.

 

Shibli pointed to a range of obstacles preventing the delivery of more aid, including restrictions on essential items such as critical medical supplies. While some baby formula has successfully reached Gaza, he stressed that the humanitarian need remains dire, with demand far exceeding current supply.

 

He also said that Israeli authorities have recently imposed new fees on aid trucks entering Gaza, increasing the logistical and financial burden on relief organisations.
