RIYADH: Saudi aid agency KSrelief continued distributing food baskets to thousands of Palestinian families in Gaza as part of its public relief campaign, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
The Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, KSrelief’s implementing partner in Gaza, distributed thousands of food baskets, prioritizing households headed by women and large families with more than five members to ensure aid reaches the neediest.
This initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to provide relief to Gaza’s residents, particularly in food security, amid the severe conditions faced by the population.
The UN recently declared that Gaza has officially entered the famine phase, with acute food shortages caused by the ongoing war and blockade.
Beneficiary families expressed deep gratitude to the Kingdom, noting that the aid serves as a lifeline, providing essential food amid harsh circumstances in the Gaza Strip.
Muslim World League Secretary-General Dr. Mohammad Al-Issa renewed the league’s urgent call for the international community to fulfill its moral and legal responsibilities and take swift action to end the famine and genocide in Gaza.
The World Assembly of Muslim Youth also voiced concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, worsened by famine in several areas due to the blockade and severe shortages of food and medical supplies.
The assembly stressed the urgent need for international and humanitarian action to save innocent lives, the SPA reported.
The organization commended Saudi Arabia for its continued support of the Palestinian people, including relief airlifts, donation campaigns, and urgent medical and food assistance facilitated by KSrelief.
