Khaberni - Two years into the war in the Gaza Strip, the Hashemite Jordanian Charity Organization continues its humanitarian and relief efforts, embodying Jordan's noble message to the world and the vision of His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein in supporting the Palestinian brothers and standing by them in the most difficult circumstances.
Since the onset of the aggression, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has mobilized on all diplomatic and humanitarian levels to secure safe corridors for delivering aid to the Gaza Strip, and Jordan has become the main conduit for relief aid into the enclave through the Jordanian relief corridor, which combines the national efforts of various state institutions, foremost among them the Jordanian Armed Forces – the Arab Army, the Royal Air Force, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, and the Hashemite Jordanian Charity Organization, in a unique model of national humanitarian integration.
Over the two years, the Hashemite Jordanian Charity Organization has managed to send 201 relief convoys consisting of 8,664 trucks loaded with food, medical, and shelter supplies across land borders, reaching hundreds of thousands of families within the enclave.
53 planes were also sent in cooperation with the Royal Air Force through El Arish Airport to Gaza, carrying over 530 tons of essential supplies and needs for our people in Gaza.
In addition, 564 air landing operations were carried out inside Gaza in cooperation with the Jordanian Armed Forces and the Royal Air Force, and with the participation of brotherly and friendly countries, to ensure the delivery of aid to besieged and remote areas. These operations included the use of 102 helicopter aircraft to carry out precise landings of medical and food supplies at hospitals and disaster-affected areas.
In the framework of ongoing efforts inside Gaza, the organization has launched several quality humanitarian projects in partnership with international and local institutions, most notably the Jordanian campaign and the Islamic Advocacy Zakat Committee, among others:
• The Water Supply Project, which provided more than 21,000 liters of drinking water for the residents across various provinces of the enclave.
• The Hot Meals Project, which served approximately 1.5 million meals throughout the region.
• The Renew Hope Initiative for fitting prosthetic limbs to the injured and wounded in the Jordanian field hospitals within the enclave, reaching a total of 637 prosthetic limbs fitted.
• Flour and Bakeries Projects that contributed to meeting the daily bread needs of affected families.
• The Sacrificial Meat Project, which benefited 4,990 recipients within the enclave.
• Distribution of tents and shelter supplies to support displaced families and those affected by home destruction.
The organization also signed 177 agreements and commitments during the two years to provide humanitarian aid with local and international partners, which reflects global confidence in Jordan's humanitarian role and its ability to coordinate and implement effective field operations.
Thus, the total volume of aid introduced by the Hashemite Jordanian Charity Organization into the Gaza Strip exceeded 123,396 tons of various relief materials, benefiting hundreds of thousands of individuals and families through various ground, air, and humanitarian project channels within the enclave.
The Secretary-General of the Hashemite Jordanian Charity Organization, Dr. Hussein Al-Shibli, asserted that Jordan, through the agency, will continue to uphold its steadfast humanitarian role towards the Palestinian people, stating:
“Jordan has always been and continues to be the humanitarian safety valve for the brothers in Gaza, and our humanitarian stance will not change. We have worked over the past two years with an integrated national effort, which embodies the cohesion between the state's institutions under the Hashemite leadership, to be the bridge linking Jordan's will of good and the Palestinian human need.”
Dr. Al-Shibli added that the organization, as the only officially authorized entity for collecting donations and executing relief operations, continues to coordinate with its international partners and UN organizations to ensure the sustainability and expansion of aid, emphasizing that Jordanian efforts represent a comprehensive system of giving and a consistent humanitarian stance.
The statement concluded with the affirmation that Jordan will remain committed to solidarity and support, extending its hand to the brothers in Gaza no matter how long the crisis lasts, to keep the voice of Jordanian humanity present everywhere.
