KSrelief continues aid initiatives in Sudan, Gaza and Pakistan

RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) continues its aid initiatives with the distribution of medical aid, food and winter kits in Sudan, Gaza and Pakistan.

In Port Sudan of Sudan, KSrelief launched the third phase of the Food Security Support Project which aims to distribute 30,000 food parcels to displaced persons as they return to their homes in the states of Al-Jazirah, Khartoum, Red Sea, Sennar and White Nile.

In southern and central Gaza Strip, the aid agency – in cooperation with the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage – continues to provide emergency medical supplies to hospitals and health centers to enhance their capability in providing healthcare services to displaced Palestinians.

Dozens of trucks loaded with Saudi aid arrive daily in response to the health sector’s urgent appeal, which has suffered severely from over 15 months of war, in keeping with Saudi Arabia’s role in supporting the Palestinian people in times of crisis.

In Pakistan’s Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, KSrelief distributed 1,050 winter kits which benefited 5,243 individuals in areas affected by floods and extreme cold as part of a project to provide shelter materials and winter kits to the country this year.

Meanwhile, KSrelief Supervisor-General Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabeeah met with Iraqi ambassador to Saudi Arabia Safia Taleb Al-Souhail to discuss possible areas of collaboration.
