Jordan's King orders aid to Palestinians
2006-05-16
King Abdullah on Monday ordered the dispatch of urgent relief aid to the West Bank and Gaza to help the Palestinians overcome their economic crisis. A convoy of 25 trucks laden with 400 tonnes of food and humanitarian assistance will leave for the Palestinian territories today, President of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) Abdul Salam Abbadi was quoted by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, as saying.

Abbadi said 10 trucks will go to the West Bank and 15 to Gaza. It will be the fourth convoy of humanitarian assistance to be sent to the Palestinians in the past two months. Over the past few years, Jordan sent more than 200 aid convoys to the Palestinians, in addition to more than 30 fully equipped ambulances, according to the JHCO.
