Saudi aid to Gaza: Distribution of new food baskets to displaced people
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center , continues its tireless efforts to provide assistance to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, as part of the ongoing relief bridge launched by the Kingdom to alleviate the severity of the current humanitarian crisis. In the latest step of this urgent response, the Center distributed new quantities of food aid targeting displaced people in the southern areas of the Gaza Strip.
Direct field distribution to displaced persons
In cooperation with its implementing partner, the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage , field teams successfully reached displaced persons camps today and distributed comprehensive food baskets to families living in tents in southern Gaza. This initiative aims to ensure food reaches the most vulnerable and needy groups at a time when supply chains are facing significant challenges.
Saudi popular campaign: Widespread solidarity
This aid comes as an integral part of the Saudi popular campaign to provide relief to 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 has witnessed widespread public engagement through the "Sahem" platform, reflecting the deep fraternal ties between the Saudi and Palestinian peoples and the Saudi community's desire to offer all possible assistance to alleviate the suffering caused by the war.
The humanitarian crisis is worsening, and there is a need for urgent intervention
This aid is of paramount importance given the tragic circumstances faced by the residents of the Gaza Strip, where the ongoing war has displaced hundreds of thousands of families, leaving them homeless and without income. With the onset of winter and its harsh cold, the suffering intensifies within the displacement camps, which lack even the most basic necessities. Providing food security and shelter has become a top priority for humanitarian organizations to avert an imminent famine.
The Kingdom's leading role in humanitarian work
This move is a continuation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s historic and leading role in supporting the Palestinian cause on all levels, particularly the humanitarian level. These ongoing efforts underscore the Kingdom’s moral and humanitarian commitment to those affected in Gaza, and its constant endeavor to mobilize international and regional support to ensure the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid across border crossings, reaffirming its global mission to provide relief to those in distress and support those in need wherever they may be.
