- Jordan has dispatched on Monday its 193rd humanitarian convoy into the enclave to deliver essential food supplies aboard 59 trucks
DUBAI: Jordan on Monday denounced the attacks on Jordanian relief trucks en route to the Gaza Strip by Israeli settlers, describing their actions as dangerous for aid drivers aside from obstructing humanitarian operations for the besieged enclave.
A group of settlers tried Sunday evening to block a convoy of 59 relief trucks, which later managed to cross into Gaza, Mohammad Momani, government spokesperson and Minister of Government Communication, said in a report from state news agency Petra.
Momani said four of the trucks were attacked, with settlers pelting them with stones, smashing windshields, slashing tires as well as damaging front and side panels
The Jordanian official emphasized that Israeli authorities were responsible for failing to restrain such incidents, calling the response “lax” and warning that the attacks posed risks to driver safety, hindered relief work and violated international conventions and agreements.
Meanwhile, Jordan has dispatched on Monday its 193rd humanitarian convoy into the enclave to deliver essential food supplies aboard 59 trucks.
The deliveries, according to Momani, would continue despite obstacles such as requirements for electronic applications to transport aid, limited inspection hours at border crossings and newly imposed customs fees.
These measures, he said, have stretched delivery times from about two hours to as long as 36 hours.
