Jordan And The Netherlands Deploy Aid Materials To Northern Gaza

JAKARTA - The Jordanian Air Force and the Netherlands on Monday made a second leap of urgent aid to northern Gaza within 24 hours.

According to a statement issued by the Jordanian military, the second mission was carried out using a C-130 aircraft and aid was sent to a Jordanian field hospital in Gaza, reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Tuesday, February 6.

The aid material includes supplies of assistance, humanity and medicines delivered in a special box equipped with parachutes with GPS guides to ensure delivery reaches its destination within the required timeframe.

The statement stressed that the two missions emphasized "strong bilateral relations between two friendly countries and showed the value of solidarity and cooperation possessed by the Dutch people towards the Palestinian people."

This latest operation brings Jordanian total air assistance to two field hospitals in Gaza to 13, with the first to take place on November 6.

Israel launched a deadly attack on Gaza following the attack by the Palestinian Hamas group on October 7, which killed at least 27,478 Palestinians and injured 66,835 others, while nearly 1,200 Israelis are believed to have died in the Hamas attack.

Israeli attacks have left 85 percent of Gaza's population displaced amid food shortages, clean water and medicines, while 60 percent of infrastructure in the enclave has been damaged or destroyed.
