The first batch of China's fresh emergency humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, which includes about 12,000 food parcels, departed from Jordan on Tuesday.

The humanitarian assistance provided by China will be transported via land borders. The emergency aid, consisting of 60,000 food parcels, will be delivered in six shipments by the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization. The initial shipment of 12,000 food parcels will be handed over to the World Food Program, the Palestine Red Crescent, and other relevant organizations once the shipments reach Gaza.

At the scene, Chinese Ambassador to Jordan Chen Chuandong said that China will continue to provide further assistance to the Palestinian people.

"As a good friend of the Palestinian people and a responsible major country, China has provided multiple batches of assistance to the people of Gaza. We will continue to advocate for a political solution to the Palestinian issue so as to bring peace and security to the region," he said.

Hashemite Charity Organization's Secretary-General Hussein Shibli expressed his deep gratitude to China for its support for Gaza residents, expressing his hope for further cooperation with China in the coming days to help those in need in the enclave.

"We hope that today's cooperation with China will mark the beginning of further joint efforts to help people in need in Gaza, support them, alleviate their current difficulties in life, and address the severe shortage of food, shelter and medical supplies. I hope this cooperation can be sustained between Jordan and China," he said.

Iran's state television IRIB reported on Sunday that the U.S.-Iran talks, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, were suspended after about 80 minutes of discussions, as the two sides paused for a break and internal consultations.

According to media reports, no negotiations on Iran's nuclear program took place during the first round of talks, which focused on the implementation of clause 13 of the recently signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries and prioritized issues related to Lebanon.

Qatari sources said the first round of talks focused on Lebanon, with discussions on the Strait of Hormuz to follow. A third session will address Iran's nuclear program and sanctions.

Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, citing a source close to the negotiating team, said the Iranian delegation left the venue of the talks in protest over comments by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Earlier in the day, Trump threatened on his Truth Social platform to "hit Iran very hard again" if Iran did not stop Hezbollah from "causing trouble."
