Amman, Nov. 21 (Petra) - A convoy of 100 new trucks carrying essential humanitarian aid, including ready-to-eat meals,
health packages, tents, and blankets, crossed into Gaza on Thursday. The aid will be distributed through various partner organizations operating in Gaza.
The delivery was made possible through the joint efforts of the Jordan Armed Forces, the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), and the World Food Program (WFP), with additional support from Human Appeal, the British Embassy, Islamic Relief UK, Kingdom Concrete, the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), the United Palestinian Appeal, United Hands Relief, and Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT).
