As the war evolved and the conditions for humanitarian access became more complex, the Jordanian response evolved in parallel; from sending medical and relief aid to land convoys, air bridges, and airdrops, alongside direct work with partners inside the Gaza Strip to ensure the continued provision of assistance and access to the most affected families and communities.
On September 18, 2025, all crossings for aid entry into the Gaza Strip were closed, imposing a more difficult humanitarian and logistical reality, with the entry of shipments through the crossings halting for a long period.
At a time when it was impossible to bring in aid through the usual routes, the JHCO continued to work from inside the Gaza Strip through its network of partners and field teams, and the priority shifted to maintaining the continuity of services and projects that could be implemented locally and reach our people directly in various areas of the Strip.
Work continued to provide bread, hot meals, and drinking water, implement shelter interventions, and provide basic needs for displaced families, in addition to supporting health and medical services and strengthening the ability of health facilities to provide their services in light of the continuous pressure on the health sector.
Interventions also expanded to include the implementation of health and community projects, the provision of specialized medical services, and activities targeting children, orphans, and affected families, reflecting a shift in the response from the concept of merely delivering aid to maintaining a continuous humanitarian presence inside the Strip.
Over the course of three years, access routes have changed, crossings have been closed, and logistical and field challenges have increased, yet the essence of the Jordanian response has remained constant: searching for the possible path to reach the human being.
Today, three years after the start of the war, the JHCO continues its efforts for our people in Gaza, whether by working to bring in aid whenever access routes are available, or by continuing humanitarian programs and projects inside the Strip in cooperation with partners working on the ground.
Three years during which circumstances, paths, and needs have changed, but the Jordanian position has not changed; continuing to stand by our people in the Gaza Strip, and working to deliver aid by every available means, no matter how difficult the road becomes.
