Jordan plays crucial role in delivering aid to Gaza – Qatari official

Zarqa: Lolwah Rashid Al-Khater, the State of Qatar's Minister of State for International Cooperation, reaffirmed that Jordan is essential to the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip since it serves as both the primary artery and the nerve leading to Gaza. This occurred on Thursday during the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization's reception at its warehouses in Zarqa. Seven trucks marched from the state of Qatar, carrying supplies for the brothers in the Gaza Strip, where the organization's Secretary-General, Hussein Al-Shibli, minister Lulwa Al Khater, and the ambassador of Qatar in Amman, Sheikh Saud bin Nasser bin Jassim Al-Thani, received the Qatari aid. The launch of the aid line route began some time ago, and Qatari aid doubled after the expansion of operations, according to Minister Al Khater, who stated: "We are in Jordan to receive one of the batches of Qatari aid, with the aim of bringing it into the Gaza Strip and it is not the first aid to reach Gaza through the Kingdom." Israeli military forces oc cupying Gaza and sealing off the Rafah border crossing. Al Khater emphasized that Qatar's position is based on two tracks: the first is the continuation of attempts to mediate an end to Israeli aggression, and the second is the delivery of aid to the Gaza population in collaboration with the brothers in Jordan and Egypt. The first shipment of aid, which comes from the Qatar Fund for Development today, includes 1,000 tents and other basic needs for the people living in the Gaza Strip, as they did yesterday, Minister Al Khater stated. Qatari medical and food aid was provided through the Qatar Fund for Development, the Qatar Red Crescent, and Qatar Charity. It is necessary because the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza, particularly the Rafah area, are constantly displacing people and expanding their military activities. Al-Shibli, for his part, stated: "There have been royal directives to work on delivering food and medical aid to our brothers in Gaza since the first day of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. The Authority operated 2,700 trucks that arrived in the Gaza Strip, and it carried out 383 airdrops through the Jordan Armed Forces." In addition to 53 relief trucks passing through the Egyptian Al-Arish region since the start of the assault. Sheikh Saud Al-Thani said that said that his country is still carrying out its humanitarian mission by making sure that the brothers in Gaza receive aid and relief. This shows that Qatar consistently works with the brothers in Jordan and Egypt to coordinate the delivery of aid to our brothers in Gaza, and this is done in accordance with our moral obligation, and compassion for the Palestinian cause.
