Palestine-Israel Conflicts
AMMAN, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- Jordan on Sunday received two aid cargos for
Gazans from Chile and Pakistan, which will soon be channeled to the enclave Gaza
Strip, the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) said.
Among the relief supplies, 25 tons come from Chile and 10 tons from
Pakistan, according to the Chilean Ambassador to Jordan Luis Palma and the
Pakistani Ambassador to Jordan Mohammad Akhtar Tufail.
Earlier in the day, the JHCO has sent a 20-truck convoy laden with 243 tons
of food supplies, blankets and mattresses to Gaza byway of the King Hussein
Bridge.
Soon after Israel launched a military offensive against Gaza late last
year, the JHCO, under the order of King Abdullah II, has started a daily aid
transfer to the enclave.
So far, about 277 aid convoys have been sent to help ease the suffering of
the Palestinians in the coastal enclave, according to the charity group.
Jordan also serves as a bridge to channel humanitarian aid to Gazans from
outside world.
