Saudi arabia: Saudi Arabia has moved to expand the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip after the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud directed increased air, sea, and land relief routes to ensure broader access for Palestinian civilians amid the humanitarian crisis.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, Abdallah bin Abdulaziz al-Rabiah, the head of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), stated that the directive is a continuation of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to provide relief to those affected in the Gaza Strip through the Saudi popular campaign.
He emphasized that this initiative reflects Saudi Arabia’s historical role in supporting the Palestinian people during crises and hardships, affirming the deep connection between the Kingdom’s leadership, its people, and Palestine.
Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, has established sustained air and sea relief corridors to assist the Palestinian people. To date, 77 aircraft and eight vessels have delivered over 7,699 tons of food, medical, and shelter assistance. Additionally, 912 Saudi relief trucks have transported significant quantities of food aid, shelter materials, medical supplies, and essential equipment to the Gaza Strip.
The Kingdom has also provided 20 ambulances to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and signed agreements with international organizations to implement relief projects inside the Gaza Strip valued at $90.35 million. Aerial aid operations, in partnership with Jordan, have been conducted to bypass the closure of crossings and ensure the sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance.
