LONDON: The Saudi aid agency KSrelief has distributed winter clothing to families in Yemen and provided food parcels to displaced Palestinians living in tents in the Gaza Strip.

The humanitarian effort comes amid a cold snap and heavy rain in the two regions.

In Yemen, mostly in the Hadramout valley area, the agency handed out more than 2,000 items of winter clothing.

Since the start of the war in late 2023, KSrelief has dispatched 78 planes and eight ships carrying almost 7,700 tonnes of food, medical supplies and shelter materials to Gaza. More than 900 Saudi trucks have also delivered food and medical equipment to the region.

The agency has delivered 20 ambulances to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and signed agreements totaling $90 million for relief projects in Gaza. It has also carried out airdrops in partnership with the Jordanian Armed Forces.
