69 Million Loaves.. And the Most Important Message

Ala Al-Qaralah

3 min read

Sixty-nine million loaves of bread have been produced by the three Jordanian mobile bakeries in the Gaza Strip from the beginning of 2025 until mid-October, at an average of nearly 210,000 loaves per day, contributing to alleviating the burden of a harsh humanitarian crisis, making the difference between hunger that exhausts bodies and a morsel that preserves a person's ability to continue living.

The true meaning of this number lies not in the count of loaves alone, but in the effort behind it, in the will that made delivering aid a continuous act, and in the Jordanian position that insists the tragedy of the people of Gaza is not a crisis to be accustomed to over time. It is precisely here that the importance of the royal directives and efforts becomes clear, having made supporting Palestinian brothers a humanitarian and political priority.

Perhaps what gives this number its greatest weight is that behind every loaf is a person waiting, a family trying to manage their day, and children in need of food amidst exceptional circumstances. When these bakeries produce about 210,000 loaves daily, we are talking about production capacity, the ability to provide bread continuously, and an effort that places human needs at the forefront of priorities.

Here, the difference between a position stated and a position translated into action appears. Jordan, under its Hashemite leadership, has not treated what is happening in Gaza as a crisis far from its responsibilities, but has continued its political and humanitarian movements based on deep-rooted historical and brotherly ties, and the conviction that standing by the Palestinians is a duty not imposed by circumstances alone, but dictated by principle.

In conclusion, 69 million loaves, behind each one of which is a message saying that Jordan, under its Hashemite leadership, does not limit its solidarity with Gaza to words, but seeks for this solidarity to have an impact that reaches the person themselves; to a hungry person waiting, a child in need, and a family searching for the minimum of a decent life, for it may be

a loaf small in size, but in times of hunger, it is a stance, and in times of suffering, it is a responsibility.
