AMMAN — Following the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah, the Jordanian Field Hospital Command in South Gaza on Saturday distributed over 1,000 food parcels in Khan Younis.

 

The parcels, containing essential items such as rice, flour, and cooking oil, were delivered in cooperation with the Jordanian Hashemite Charitable Organisation (JHCO) through various local charitable associations and institutions, aiming to meet urgent needs and strengthen community resilience.

 

The hospital commander said that the aid reflects Jordan’s continued dedication to humanitarian efforts in Gaza, particularly in light of the severe challenges facing families in the Strip, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

 

Palestinians in Gaza expressed their deep gratitude to His Majesty and Jordan’s steadfast support, voicing pride in the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) for their ongoing medical and humanitarian efforts in the Strip.

 

Jordan runs two military field hospitals in Gaza, one in the Strip's north, which was established in 2009 following the war in 2008.

 

The second was established in Khan Younis in the south in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli war of aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7, 2023.

 

Besides the field hospitals in Gaza, the JAF established the Jordanian field hospital in Nablus in late November 2023 and has conducted over 900 surgeries and received more than 83,000 patients ever since.

 

The Kingdom, in cooperation with the World Central Kitchen, has also dispatched a mobile bakery with a production capacity of 3,500 loaves of bread per hour to Gaza.
