The seventh Jordanian airdrop to support families in Gaza included humanitarian aid and food supplies for those inside the church.

Armed Forces: The stuck people inside the church suffer from a scarcity of food and a severe shortage of basic life necessities.

Armed Forces: The airdrop is a message of solidarity with our Christian brothers in the Gaza Strip in light of the raging Israeli war.

Pursuant to The Royal directives, the Jordan Armed Forces - the Arab Army carried out this Sunday evening an airdrop to help those inside the Church of Saint Porphyrius, located in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip, on Christmas Eve.

An official military source stated that a Royal Air Force plane landed humanitarian aid and food supplies to help those stuck inside the church, which is one of the oldest churches in the world.

The number of those besieged in the church is estimated at about 800 Gazan citizens, Christian nationals inside the Gaza Strip, and they suffer from food scarcity and a severe shortage of basic life necessities amid difficult humanitarian conditions.

The source added that aid boxes were dropped using umbrellas on the church, which is considered a safe haven for Christians and their children, while it continues to be besieged by the Israeli occupation forces.

This seventh Jordanian airdrop comes as a message of solidarity with our Christian brothers in the Gaza Strip in light of the raging Israeli war.

During his meeting with Jerusalemite and Jordanian religious leaders at Al-Husseiniya Palace last Wednesday, His Majesty, the King confirmed that Jordan is seeking in every way to deliver aid to those who have taken refuge in the church.

The source confirmed that Jordan, in implementation of the Royal directives, will continue to support the brothers in Gaza, and will stand by the Palestinian people and support their steadfastness on their land in various ways and means, in a way that alleviates their burden as a result of the difficult humanitarian conditions they are exposed to.
