Jordan sends aid to Gaza
12 October 2023 08:24 BST
Jordan has sent its first aid delivery destined for Gaza since the start of the ongoing war.
A source from the Jordanian military told the Reuters news agency that the aid will be taken to Gaza’s Rafah border crossing with Egypt, after which it would be transferred to authorities in Gaza should permissions be obtained.
Israel has cut off food, water and electricity supplies to Gaza, as its defence minister vowed to defeat the “human animals” living there.
The Rafah border crossing has been bombed by the Israelis on multiple occasions and Israel has also vowed to attack trucks delivering supplies to the area.
