The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) has expressed its dismay and rejection of what it described as “false and defamatory” claims published by a London-based website regarding Jordan’s humanitarian aid efforts for Gaza since late 2023.
In a statement, the JHCO’s media office said the English-language news outlet sent a series of “biased and accusatory” questions late Thursday, demanding answers within three hours—an approach the organization said suggested a premeditated intent to publish the article without a response in order to distort Jordan’s image.
The organization emphasized that the questions were based on what the outlet called “allegations,” requiring time to address with the accuracy and transparency necessary for complex and multi-layered humanitarian operations.
The JHCO stressed that all donations it received were delivered in full to Gaza, with no deductions for operational costs.
Regarding financial costs, the media office clarified that Jordan bore the full expenses of land convoys, airdrops, air bridges, and air shipments via Al-Arish in the early phases of the conflict, before international organizations and countries joined the relief efforts.
The statement noted that Jordan funded all of its 125 exclusive airdrop missions, while 266 other airdrops were financed by participating countries.
