Jordan hosts int'l conference on urgent humanitarian response for Gaza


AMMAN — As Jordan hosts the emergency international conference on the urgent humanitarian response for Gaza on Tuesday, analysts expressed hope that the high-profile gathering would contribute to ending the war in the Strip and the resulting humanitarian catastrophe.

The “Call for Action: Urgent Humanitarian Response for Gaza” conference is held at the invitation of His Majesty King Abdullah, Egypt President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres, at the level of heads of state and government, and heads of international humanitarian and relief organisations, according to a Royal Court statement.

The conference at the King Hussein bin Talal Convention Centre at the Dead Sea, seeks to identify ways to bolster the international community’s response to the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.
