Amman, July 2 (Petra) — Upon Royal directives, Jordan on Thursday
dispatched medical, relief, and food aid to Venezuela, in cooperation
with Qatar, in order to support disaster response efforts in the
aftermath of the earthquakes.

A Qatari C-17 aircraft departed from Amman City Airport carrying 26
tonnes of medical supplies, as well as basic food supplies to meet
the needs of people affected by the earthquakes.

The aid also includes supplies and equipment for Jordan’s search and
rescue team dispatched by the Public Security Directorate, which had
commenced field operations in Venezuela earlier this week.

Another Qatari aircraft is due to depart from Amman City Airport on
Friday carrying the same amount of aid.

The support is aimed at boosting local capacities in Venezuela to
help manage the disaster response efforts, bolster the healthcare
sector, and provide basic supplies for those affected.

The aid is in line with Jordan’s humanitarian efforts undertaken upon
Royal directives in support of nations in need of assistance during
disaster response.
