Saudi aid to Gaza: A winter convoy from the King Salman Center arrives
As part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's ongoing humanitarian efforts to support the Palestinian people, a new aid convoy from the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center . This convoy, carrying winter clothing for children, is part of the Saudi public campaign to aid the Palestinian people in the Strip, reflecting the deep solidarity between the two nations.
Details of aid and recreational program
The center explained that the distribution of this aid is carried out through an innovative mechanism that goes beyond traditional delivery methods, integrating it into a comprehensive recreational program. Field teams from the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage – the implementing partner of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center in the Gaza Strip – are responsible for carrying out this program. This approach aims to provide material support in the form of winter clothing, alongside moral and psychological support for children living in exceptional circumstances in displacement camps.
The importance of psychological support and returning to schools
The program accompanying the aid distribution focuses on providing recreation and psychological support to children to help them return to school, especially after an interruption of more than two years due to the current situation. This step is considered essential for reintegrating children into the educational process and helping them overcome the psychological trauma resulting from the conflict. The program combines providing physical warmth through winter clothing with emotional support through recreational activities.
Urgent response to winter challenges in Gaza
This convoy is doubly important given its timing, as the people of the Gaza Strip, especially children, face harsh winter weather challenges. With displacement continuing and thousands of families having lost their homes, providing winter clothing has become a pressing humanitarian need, not a luxury. This aid contributes to providing a minimum level of warmth, preserving human dignity, and alleviating the economic and living burdens on families who have lost their livelihoods and possessions.
A long history of Saudi support for Palestine
This support is not a fleeting event, but rather an extension of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's historical and unwavering stance on the Palestinian cause. Since the outbreak of the crisis, the Kingdom, through its humanitarian arm, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, has established air and sea bridges to transport thousands of tons of food, medical, and shelter aid. These efforts embody the directives of the Saudi leadership to stand with the Palestinian people in all their trials and tribulations, translating the Kingdom's noble values and humanitarian mission into tangible action that alleviates the suffering of those affected.
