Amman, June 4 (Petra) — Jordan has sent a sixth humanitarian aid
convoy to Lebanon, bringing the total number of relief trucks
dispatched under the Kingdom’s ongoing assistance program to 130 as
efforts continue to support vulnerable communities facing growing
humanitarian needs.
The latest convoy, which departed on Thursday, consists of 28 trucks
carrying food assistance destined for beneficiaries across different
parts of Lebanon.
The shipment was organized through cooperation between the Jordan
Hashemite Charity Organization and the World Food Programme (WFP),
with coordination support from the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army and
the Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs.
The new delivery forms part of the Jordanian relief bridge
established to provide sustained humanitarian support to Lebanon,
reflecting the Kingdom’s continued engagement in regional
humanitarian response efforts.
According to the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization, the
assistance is aimed at helping meet increasing humanitarian needs
while supporting food security and ensuring the delivery of essential
supplies to affected families.
The organization said the aid is being distributed through
coordinated mechanisms designed to ensure that assistance reaches
beneficiaries efficiently and in an organized manner.
With the departure of the latest convoy, the cumulative number of
trucks sent by Jordan to Lebanon has reached 130, underscoring the
scale and continuity of the Kingdom’s humanitarian support.
The organization noted that the ongoing dispatch of aid convoys
reflects Jordan’s longstanding commitment to supporting countries
facing humanitarian challenges and demonstrates the close
coordination between national institutions and international partners
in delivering relief assistance.
It also expressed appreciation to the Syrian authorities for
facilitating the passage of humanitarian convoys through Syrian
territory en route to Lebanon.
Jordan has maintained a steady flow of humanitarian assistance to
Lebanon through successive relief shipments, with food aid forming a
key component of efforts to alleviate pressure on vulnerable
households and strengthen food security.
