Hussein Al-Shibli, the charity's secretary-general, said it is the sixth such plane sent by Jordan that is bound to be delivered to hospitals in Gaza, the state-run Petra news agency reported.
The aid items were prepared in cooperation with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, and would be sent through Rafah crossing into the enclave by the Egyptian Red Crescent, according to Al-Shibli.
He added that authorities and various stakeholders in Jordan are exerting their utmost efforts to continue their support to the Gazans.

The hospital consists of seven trailers, including two operating rooms, two intensive care rooms, 15 surgical beds and an array of auxiliary departments to serve the transferred and evacuated Palestinians, it added. ■
