Saudi Gazette report

RAFAH — Seven new Saudi relief trucks crossed the Rafah border crossing on Wednesday, carrying food aid provided by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) as part of the Kingdom’s ongoing popular campaign to support the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The latest convoy marks a continued expansion of Saudi Arabia’s humanitarian air and sea bridges.

To date, the Kingdom has dispatched 58 aid planes and 8 ships, delivering a total of 7,188 tons of food, medical supplies, and shelter materials. The aid also includes 20 ambulances handed over to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

In light of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, Saudi Arabia has stepped up its efforts with a series of initiatives.

Most recently, KSrelief signed agreements with several international organizations to fund emergency relief projects worth $90.35 million, aimed at supporting the most critical humanitarian cases inside Gaza.

Additionally, in coordination with Jordan, KSrelief has carried out airdrop operations to deliver food to civilians in besieged areas, helping to bypass restrictions caused by the ongoing border closures.

Gaza remains in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis due to continued military operations and widespread shortages of basic necessities. These Saudi aid efforts are seen as vital lifelines for thousands of displaced and affected families.
