25th Saudi relief plane for Palestinians arrives in Egypt

  • Plane carried two ambulances that will be transported to Palestinians in Gaza
  • Assistance reflects Saudi Arabia’s longstanding commitment to support the Palestinian people during times of crisis

RIYADH: The 25th Saudi relief plane for Palestinians, operated by the Saudi aid agency KSrelief in coordination with the Ministry of Defense, arrived in Egypt on Wednesday.

The plane carried two ambulances that will be transported to Palestinians in Gaza, bringing the total number of KSrelief ambulances to enter Gaza through the Rafah border crossing equipped with essential medical supplies to 16 so far.

This assistance reflects Saudi Arabia’s longstanding commitment to supporting the Palestinian people during times of crisis.

Meanwhile, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation welcomed the UN General Assembly resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire to ensure access to humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, adopted on Tuesday evening, with 153 countries voting in favor.

The OIC said that the resolution reflected an international consensus regarding the need to stop the crimes of displacement, destruction and genocide, committed by the Israeli occupation forces against people throughout the Palestinian territories, especially in the Gaza Strip.

The OIC also called on the international community to compel Israel to comply immediately and fully with the terms of this resolution, to put an end to the threat of the collapse of the humanitarian system in the Gaza Strip, and to take decisive measures to end the occupation of Palestine and the military aggression against its people.
