His Majesty King Abdullah said on Wednesday the international community's priority should be to immediately secure an end to the aggression on Gaza and should work to alleviate the human suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.

The King warned that the aggression has reached levels that are politically, legally and morally unacceptable, adding that silence cannot be justified.

During a meeting with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, King Abdullah reiterated the need to force Israel to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1860, to lift the siege on Gaza and open crossings to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid and evacuate the injured.

The King told the UN chief that Jordan is ready to facilitate the work of UN organisations working to address the humanitarian crisis created by the Israeli aggression.

King Abdullah also expressed Jordan's readiness to partner with these organisations to ensure the provision of assistance and support to Gaza residents.

Ban, who was earlier in Cairo, briefed King Abdullah on his regional tour that aims to secure the implementation of Resolution 1860 and a ceasefire in Gaza.

In Cairo, Ban called for an immediate and durable ceasefire, reiterating that there is no time to be wasted. He also called for the speedy dispatch of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, donations from the Kingdom continued to arrive in Gaza as the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation dispatched today 14 trucks of foodstuff and medical supplies.

On Wednesday, military airplanes also began transporting some 80,000 ready meals to the Palestinians through an air corridor to El Arish airport in Egypt. The meals will be distributed through the World Food Programme.

Meanwhile, Jordan also facilitated the transportation of more than 800 tons of aid from Arab, Muslim and Western states to Gaza via the King Hussein Bridge. These countries include Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Oman, UAE, Turkey, Indonesia, Brazil and Spain.
