KSrelief delivers new batch of food aid to central Gaza

  • The delivery was made through the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage

RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) on Saturday delivered a new batch of food aid to the eastern Deir El-Balah area in central Gaza, as part of the Kingdom’s ongoing campaign to support the Palestinian people.

The delivery was made through the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, continuing Saudi Arabia’s extensive humanitarian operations in the Gaza Strip, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

KSrelief’s efforts include the establishment of an air and sea bridge, through which 71 planes and eight ships have so far transported more than 7,655 tons of food, medical supplies, and shelter materials. 

The center has also provided 20 ambulances to the Palestine Red Crescent Society.

In addition, KSrelief signed agreements worth $90.35 million with international organizations to implement a series of relief projects in Gaza.

To help ensure the continuous delivery of humanitarian aid, the center has conducted joint airdrops with Jordan to overcome the closure of border crossings and maintain the flow of vital assistance to those in need, SPA added.

Saudi defense chief discusses regional situation with Turkish, Romanian counterparts

RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman had separate phone conversations with his Turkish and Romanian counterparts about the escalating regional crisis. 

In his call with Yasar Guler, Turkey’s Minister of National Defense, Prince Khalid said “we reaffirmed our commitment to all measures aimed at protecting our security.”

Prince Khalid wrote: “We condemned the Iranian attacks against our countries, discussed the impact of the regional escalation on security and stability.”

In a separate call, Prince Khalid spoke with his Romanian counterpart Radu Miruta, Minister of National Defense, who condemned the Iranian attacks targeting the Kingdom.

“We also discussed regional developments and the threat that the escalation poses to security and stability in the region and the world,” Prince Khalid wrote on social media about his meeting with Miruta.

The US and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28 and Tehran has attacked Gulf nations as well as Israeli and US assets in the region in an escalation that threatens security and economic stability.

Iran has said it is blockading energy shipments across the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for the transfer of oil and gas, prompting a surge in the price of the commodities.
