Saudi Arabia has moved to expand the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip after Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saudi and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud ordered the scaling up of air, sea and land routes to ensure faster and broader aid access for Palestinian civilians.
The move comes amid mounting humanitarian challenges in Gaza and reflects the kingdom’s ongoing efforts to mitigate the impact of the crisis on the civilian population.
Dr Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabiah, an adviser at the Royal Court and the head of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), said the directive highlights Saudi’s continued engagement in relief operations and its commitment to humanitarian responsibilities during emergencies.
He said Saudi assistance to Gaza is being carried out through an integrated aid network managed by KSrelief, with multiple programmes addressing critical needs such as food supplies, temporary housing, healthcare, clean water and sanitation, alongside medical and logistical support.
l Israeli forces shot and killed at least three Palestinians in separate incidents in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis yesterday. Medics reported that the dead included a 15-year-old boy, a fisherman killed outside areas still occupied by Israel in the enclave and a third man who was shot and killed in areas under Israeli control.
