RIYADH — A Saudi relief plane carrying urgent humanitarian aid for wildfire victims in Syria’s Latakia governorate landed at Aleppo International Airport, launching the Kingdom’s humanitarian air bridge to support those affected by the recent blazes.

The flight, operated by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) in coordination with the Ministry of Defense, is the first in a series of planned missions delivering shelter materials and emergency supplies to affected communities.

Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, Advisor at the Royal Court and Supervisor General of KSrelief, said the aid reflects the values of solidarity and brotherhood upheld by the Saudi leadership under Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He noted that this was the 17th Saudi relief flight to Syria.

Al-Rabeeah emphasized that the Kingdom prioritizes humanitarian work as part of its noble mission and generous legacy, grounded in a belief that human dignity is a fundamental right for all.

The flight follows a joint agreement signed a day earlier between KSrelief and Syria’s Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management to supply vital equipment and support to firefighting teams in Kasab, Latakia. The cooperation aims to strengthen Syria’s rapid response capabilities through technical and logistical assistance.
