Jordan will host an emergency international conference on June 11 to work on the humanitarian response to the war in Gaza, in coordination with Egypt and the United Nations.
The conference seeks to identify ways to strengthen the international community’s response to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Jordan's Royal Court said in a statement that the event will look to outline effective measures and procedures, as well as operational and logistical needs for this purpose, while seeking commitment for a collective coordinated response to address the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Palestinian health authorities estimate more than 36,280 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel attacked the enclave in response to an October 7 Hamas assault in southern Israel.
The Hamas attack killed around 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies.
As the war has dragged on and Gaza's infrastructure has been widely demolished, malnutrition has spread among the 2.3 million population as aid deliveries have slowed to a trickle, and the United Nations has warned of incipient famine.
