Jordanians take to streets, demand action against Israeli aggression in Gaza, Lebanon

AMMAN — Jordanians took to the streets on Friday to express solidarity with Palestinians and Lebanese in their struggle against the ongoing Israeli aggressions on Gaza and Lebanon.

Participants in the rally that started at Al Husseini Mosque in Amman condemned the ongoing attacks on Palestinians and called for an end to the blockade of Gaza, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

They chanted slogans calling for an end to arms exports to Israel and praised the resilience of the Palestinian people, describing their struggle as a "struggle for survival against acts of genocide."

Participants commended Jordan’s efforts to stop the violence, highlighting the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause and its support for the peoples of Palestine and Lebanon in their fight against Israeli attacks.

Jordanian medical teams working in military field hospitals in Gaza and the West Bank were also praised for their efforts to provide critical care in these dire conditions. 

Participants acknowledged the role of the medical teams in treating the wounded and patients, despite the challenges posed by the ongoing aggression.

They also highlighted the coordination efforts between Jordanian medical staff and humanitarian organisations to ensure the timely and effective delivery of aid, including providing medical consultations, training local staff to deal with emergencies and raising awareness of Israeli aggression-related wounds and illnesses.
