Jordan profited up to $400,000 per Gaza aid airdrop: Report

Jordanian authorities have profited significantly from overseeing the delivery of international aid to Gaza during Israel's ongoing war on the besieged Palestinian enclave, Middle East Eye reported on Thursday.

Sources say the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), an official body overseeing humanitarian aid going to Gaza, has coordinated with Israeli authorities to act as the sole conduit for aid passing through Jordan.

MEE spoke with sources from international aid organisations and people with direct knowledge of JHCO’s operations.

One source said much of the aid attributed to JHCO originates from foreign governments and NGOs, both Jordanian and international, while direct contributions from the Jordanian state are negligible.

Jordanian authorities have demanded $2,200 for every aid truck entering Gaza, according to two NGO sources and two others familiar with the scheme.
