First aid convoy from Jordan delivers food to Gaza

The UN World Food Programme says this crucial first step could pave the way for a more sustainable aid corridor through Jordan and allow for the delivery of more aid at scale.

AMMAN - The first aid convoy to travel direct from Jordan to Gaza since the start of the war on Oct. 7 has delivered 750 metric tonnes of food to the Palestinian enclave, the UN World Food Programme said on Wednesday.

"This crucial first step could pave the way for a more sustainable aid corridor through Jordan and allow for the delivery of more aid at scale," WFP said in a statement.
