New Saudi aid arrives in central Gaza to support displaced people
A new food aid convoy has arrived in the central Gaza Strip, provided by the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid , as part of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing efforts to extend a helping hand to the Palestinian people in light of the difficult humanitarian conditions in the Strip.
Details of the convoy and relief supplies
The new convoy carries complete food baskets containing essential supplies to meet the daily needs of affected families. This aid was received by the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, the implementing partner of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center in the Gaza Strip, and distribution will begin immediately according to a well-organized plan to ensure that support reaches the most vulnerable groups, particularly families living in displacement camps who lack even the most basic necessities.
Saudi Popular Campaign to Aid Gaza
This convoy is an integral part of the popular campaign to aid the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, launched by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Prime Minister. This campaign, through the "Sahem" platform, has successfully collected generous donations reflecting the solidarity of the Saudi people with their brothers and sisters in Palestine, enabling the center to operate continuous air, sea, and land bridges to transport thousands of tons of food, medical supplies, and shelter materials.
The importance of aid in light of the humanitarian crisis
The arrival of this convoy is of paramount importance at this critical juncture, as residents of central Gaza and the Gaza Strip as a whole are suffering from severe shortages of food and medicine due to the ongoing blockade and military operations. This Saudi aid will help alleviate the looming famine and provide a temporary food safety net for families who have lost their livelihoods and homes, thus bolstering their resilience in the face of this humanitarian catastrophe.
The leading role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
This relief effort reflects the historical and leading role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in supporting Arab and Islamic causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause. The Kingdom has not only provided political and diplomatic support in international forums to halt the aggression, but has also mobilized all its logistical resources to ensure the flow of humanitarian aid through all available channels, thus reaffirming its unwavering commitment to standing with the Palestinian people until they overcome this ordeal.
