In a dramatic overnight twist, protesters punctured the tires of Jordanian humanitarian aid trucks headed for Gaza, halting the mission and sending the convoy back across the border.
Tensions at the border escalated overnight as two humanitarian aid trucks from Jordan, carrying vital supplies for Gaza, were violently sabotaged by protesters near the Allenby Crossing. The attackers punctured the vehicles’ tires, rendering them immobile and forcing the convoy to abort its mission.
The aid—intended for urgent relief in the war-battered Gaza Strip—never made it past the crossing. Instead, the damaged trucks were compelled to turn back to Jordan, leaving critical food and medical supplies stranded miles from their intended recipients.
The shocking act underscores the growing hostility and unrest surrounding humanitarian efforts in the region, raising questions about the safety of aid convoys and the politicization of relief missions amid ongoing conflict.
