21/ Minister says airdrops not substitute for ground convoys; Jordan continues humanitarian relief efforts
Amman, July 28 (Petra) Government Communication Minister Mohammad Momani said Jordan is committed to delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, emphasising that relief efforts are free from political interference, debates or skepticism. In a press statement on issued Monday, Momani highlighted the ongoing political, diplomatic and humanitarian efforts led by His Majesty the King, aimed at achieving a ceasefire and facilitating the entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza. Momani dismissed claims suggesting that aid efforts are solely political or outside the humanitarian scope. He underscored the urgent need for increased support, noting that the aid currently being sent is insufficient to meet the needs of the Palestinian people. He announced that Jordan conducted three airdrops in Gaza on Sunday as part of its continuous humanitarian efforts. He clarified that airdrops are not a replacement for ground convoys, which carry the largest quantities of aid. He pointed out that Jordan has recently sent six relief convoys, the most recent comprising 60 aid trucks. Despite obstacles imposed by Israeli authorities, Jordan remains determined to continue its aid delivery through all available means. Momani reaffirmed Jordan's solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza, stressing that political and diplomatic efforts persist to end Israeli aggression. He condemned attempts to alter the legal status of Palestinian territories or impose Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank, which is recognised as occupied territory under international law. He reiterated Jordan's unwavering support for the Palestinian cause, vowing to continue efforts to end the conflict and alleviate suffering among the Palestinian population. //Petra// AK
