The United Nations on Tuesday applauded the efforts the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization(JHCO) to support Palestinians in Gaza.
The Commissioner General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) Karen Abu Zeid said, since the outbreak of the crisis in Gaza, the JHCO has been working in cooperation with the UNRWA, and so far it has delivered some 525 tons of basic first aid for people there.
She said the aid of the JHCO, which came under difficult circumstances, is of great help to Gazans, who have been struggling under Israel's intensive assault.
The official urged donor countries to provide emergency funds to deal with the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
Jordan has been sending humanitarian aid to Gaza through King Hussein Bridge every day soon after Israel launched offensive against Gaza on Dec. 27.
The delivery include 10 trucks everyday, loaded with medical equipment and donations in Jordan.
Israel launched airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Dec. 27 and a ground operation on Jan. 3. More than 600 Palestinians have been killed and 2,700 others injured in the ongoing conflict.
