The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has signed a cooperation agreement with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to strengthen the efforts of the emergency response in Gaza.
According to the agreement, KSrelief will provide an additional $1.85 million in aid to bolster aid efforts in Gaza Strip, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Therefore, the Kingdom’s total support for the ICRC’s efforts in Gaza reaches $11.85 million.
Crucially, the center’s funding basically targets the delivery of essential medical supplies to health facilities, as well as improving water and sanitation services. These vital sectors are currently facing great challenges due to the severe humanitarian crisis in the Strip.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has deteriorated sharply since the outbreak of the war between Hamas and Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
The Gaza War has caused the death of tens of thousands of casualties, widespread displacement as well as severe shortages of food, clean water and medical supplies.
Through its humanitarian arm (KSrelief), Saudi Arabia has been intensifying its humanitarian efforts to alleviate the suffering of Gaza people.
Alongside its international partners, the Kingdom is exerting lots of efforts to provide food assistance, medical supplies and emergency relief to the Palestinians in Gaza.
