AMMAN — The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) on Thursday dispatched an aid flight to Gaza, carrying medical supplies as part of Jordan's efforts to support the health sector in the besieged strip.

The aid, a joint effort facilitated by JHCO in partnership with Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) and the Foreign Ministry, and co-sponsored by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), will enter through the Rafah crossing in Egypt to Gaza, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
