He stressed that this caravan solidifies the pivotal role played by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as a regional center for humanitarian action and a reliable hub for coordinating international efforts, enhancing the impact of humanitarian and relief responses, and reflecting the high level of international trust in the organization as a coordinating and logistical platform for humanitarian work.
Al-Shibli added that the organization continues to enhance its international partnerships and expand the scope of its humanitarian response to match the scale of needs whilst translating Jordan's steadfast commitment towards supporting the brethren in various circumstances.
