In a critical lifeline for Gaza, a 46-truck convoy organized by the World Food Program (WFP) delivered over 750 metric tonnes of food aid to the region on Wednesday. This marks the first direct aid shipment from Jordan since hostilities escalated on October 7, offering a glimmer of hope amid the deepening humanitarian crisis.
The WFP called the mission a 'life-saving operation' as Gaza faces severe shortages of essentials after 76 days of conflict. The convoy’s arrival via Jordan highlights regional efforts to bypass logistical challenges and deliver aid faster.
While this shipment is a step forward, experts warn that sustained access remains vital to prevent famine. Stay tuned as we track developments in this unfolding story.
