The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) stated in a press release that the 19-truck convoy involved participation from 10 friendly nations and the European Union, alongside Jordan.
The JHCO explained that this effort to support Lebanon came under royal directives and is being implemented in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in close cooperation with the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army.
The relief effort included contributions from Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Romania, the European Union, Portugal, Germany, Singapore, Luxembourg, Spain, and the Netherlands, in addition to Jordan.
Dr. Hussein Al-Shibli, Secretary-General of the JHCO, emphasized that this move aims to ensure the efficient and rapid delivery of aid in accordance with the highest humanitarian standards.
He stressed that this convoy solidifies the pivotal role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as a regional hub for humanitarian action and a trusted center for coordinating international efforts. He added that it reflects the high level of international confidence in the JHCO as a logistical and coordination platform for humanitarian work.
Al-Shibli further noted that the Organization continues to strengthen its international partnerships and expand its humanitarian response to meet the scale of needs, translating Jordan's steadfast commitment to supporting its brothers under all circumstances.
Additionally, Al-Shibli extended his gratitude to the Syrian Arab Republic for their efforts in facilitating the convoy's passage through their territory.
In response to the humanitarian situation there, Jordan had previously dispatched 40 trucks over the past few weeks to support the Lebanese people.
