The 82nd Saudi relief plane, operated by the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid, arrived today at Al-Arish International Airport in the Arab Republic of Egypt, in continuous coordination with the Saudi Ministry of Defense, in preparation for transferring its cargo to those affected inside the Gaza Strip.
Details of humanitarian aid
The new Saudi plane carried a shipment of urgent humanitarian aid, including various food baskets intended to meet the basic needs of Palestinian families. The arrival of this plane is a continuation of the tireless efforts exerted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to ensure the delivery of food, medicine, and shelter materials to the Gaza Strip under the current circumstances.
The ongoing Saudi air bridge
This aid comes as part of the Saudi relief air bridge, directed by the wise leadership to stand with the brotherly Palestinian people. The continued arrival of the aircraft (reaching number 82) reflects the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to providing continuous logistical and relief support. The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center acts as the Kingdom's humanitarian arm to ensure the delivery of this aid through official channels and approved border crossings, in coordination with the Egyptian authorities.
The importance of the Saudi and Egyptian role
This event highlights the importance of strategic cooperation between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arab Republic of Egypt in managing humanitarian aid. El Arish International Airport serves as the primary logistical hub for receiving and storing international aid before its entry into the Gaza Strip via the Rafah land crossing. This aid plays a vital role in alleviating the severity of the humanitarian crisis afflicting the residents of the Strip, particularly given the acute shortages of food and medical supplies.
A firm historical position
This ongoing support is not a recent development, but rather an extension of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's long history of supporting Arab and Islamic causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause. Through these continuous airlifts, the Kingdom affirms its commitment to alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian people and providing them with the means for a dignified life, thus embodying the highest ideals of Arab and Islamic brotherhood and solidarity in times of crisis.
