Khaberni - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs Ayman Safadi confirmed Jordan's readiness to resume aid entry to Gaza as soon as Israel lifts the restrictions, ensuring the safe delivery of aid in accordance with international law and humanitarian international law.
Safadi also emphasized the need for all efforts to be united in delivering sufficient and immediate humanitarian aid to end the famine facing the sector, and reaffirmed Jordan's ongoing major humanitarian role in delivering aid to Gaza in cooperation with brethren, the international community, and United Nations organizations.
He stressed that Jordan will continue to work with brethren and partners towards achieving a fair and comprehensive peace, which entails ending the occupation, and the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, according to international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative as the only way forward.
Safadi welcomed the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and the agreement on mechanisms for implementing the first phase thereof, which would lead to the cessation of war and the implementation of an exchange agreement and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the sector and the entry of humanitarian aid, emphasizing the necessity to adhere to the agreement and fully execute its terms to end the war and address the catastrophic consequences caused by the aggression.
Through the platform (X), Safadi expressed Jordan's high appreciation for the decisive role of US President Donald Trump in reaching the agreement and his commitment to ending the war, ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid, preventing displacement, reconstructing Gaza, preventing the annexation of the West Bank, and pushing forward the peace efforts.
He added, "We appreciate the persistent efforts of Egypt and Qatar. We also value the role played by Turkey."
He affirmed that Jordan will continue to work with regional and international partners to ensure the delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid in cooperation with United Nations organizations, and will continue working with partners to launch an irreversible path towards a just peace based on a two-state solution.
"The war must end. Humanitarian aid must flow unimpeded, and work on the reconstruction of Gaza must begin," according to Safadi.
* Two Years of Humanitarian Giving to the People in Gaza
The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization continues its humanitarian and relief efforts as the humanitarian arm of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan that carries Jordan’s noble message to the world, embodying the vision of King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein in supporting Palestinian brethren and standing by them in the most difficult circumstances, marking two years since the war in the Gaza sector.
Since the onset of the aggression, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan moved on all diplomatic and humanitarian levels to secure safe passages for delivering aid to the Gaza sector, and Jordan became the main conduit for relief aid into the sector through the Jordanian relief corridor, which combined national efforts across various state institutions, foremost among them the Jordan Armed Forces - Arab Army, the Royal Jordanian Air Force, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, and the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization, in a unique model of national humanitarian integration.
Over the two years, the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization managed to dispatch 201 relief convoys consisting of 8,664 trucks loaded with food, medical, and shelter materials, through land crossings, reaching hundreds of thousands of families inside the sector.
Furthermore, 53 aircraft cooperated with the Royal Jordanian Air Force from El Arish Airport to Gaza, loaded with more than 530 tons of basic materials and the needs of our people in Gaza.
A total of 564 airdrop operations were carried out inside Gaza in cooperation with the Jordanian Armed Forces and the Royal Jordanian Air Force, along with participating sister and friend nations, ensuring that aid reaches besieged and remote areas. These operations involved the use of 102 helicopters to conduct precise airdrops of medical and food supplies to hospitals and disaster-stricken areas.
As part of ongoing efforts inside Gaza, the organization launched several distinctive humanitarian projects in partnership with domestic and international institutions, notably the Jordanian campaign and the Islamic Advocacy Zakat Committee of Jordan and others:
- The Water Quenching project which provided over 21,000 liters of potable water to residents across various governorates in the sector.
- The Hot Meals project which served approximately 1.5 million meals in all areas of the sector.
- The Restore Hope initiative for fitting artificial limbs for the injured and wounded in Jordanian field hospitals inside the sector, reaching a total of 637 fitted prosthetic limbs.
- The 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 sector.
- Distribution of tents and shelter supplies to support displaced families and those affected by home destruction.
In addition, over the two years, the organization signed 177 agreements and commitments for providing humanitarian aid with local and international partners, reflecting global confidence in Jordan's humanitarian role and its capability in effective field coordination and execution.
Consequently, the total amount of aid introduced by the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization into the Gaza sector exceeded 123,396 tons of various relief materials, benefiting hundreds of thousands of individuals and families through various land and air pathways and humanitarian projects inside the sector.
