WFP delivers 1st Jordan aid convoy through Israeli crossing

The United Nations’ World Food Program (WFP) said on Wednesday it delivered food to Gaza through the Israeli Kerem Shalom border crossing.

This came as the first direct aid convoy from Jorda delivered to Gaza through an Israeli border.

The arrival of the 46-truck convoy came after “weeks of coordination with all parties,” the WFP said.

The WFP also added that it was a “crucial first step (that) could paved the way for a more sustainable aid corridor through Jordan and allow for the delivery of more aid at scale.”
