The King Salman Relief Center distributes food baskets in Khan Yunis as part of the Saudi campaign
As part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's ongoing humanitarian efforts, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center distributing food baskets to affected families in displacement camps in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. This aid is an integral part of the Saudi popular campaign to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, launched at the direction of the wise leadership to stand with their Palestinian brothers and sisters during their current hardship.
An organized distribution mechanism and effective partnerships
The field teams of the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, acting as the implementing partner of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center in the Gaza Strip, carried out the distribution operations according to a precise and organized mechanism. This mechanism aims to ensure that aid reaches those who need it as quickly as possible, with a focus on targeting the largest possible number of displaced families within camps suffering from a severe shortage of basic necessities, in parallel with the flow of relief convoys permitted to enter through border crossings.
Context of the Saudi popular campaign
This aid is of particular importance as it comes within the framework of the Saudi popular campaign 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, Prime Minister – may God protect them both. Since its inception, this campaign has successfully established continuous air and sea bridges, transporting thousands of tons of food, medical supplies, and shelter materials, reflecting the strong popular and official Saudi solidarity with the people of Gaza amidst the dire humanitarian conditions.
The importance of support in light of the current crisis
The distribution of these food baskets comes at a critical time for the Gaza Strip, particularly in southern areas like Khan Younis, which are suffering from severe overcrowding due to the influx of displaced people and a shortage of food resources. This urgent intervention by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center contributes to strengthening food security for affected families and mitigating the escalating hunger and malnutrition crisis warned against by international organizations, thus making this support a tangible factor in saving the lives of thousands of civilians.
Messages of thanks and gratitude from the heart
Those who received this aid expressed their deepest gratitude to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership, government, and people. Several heads of households emphasized that what the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center provides is not merely food, but a message of brotherhood and solidarity that has restored their hope and the feeling that their Arab and Islamic heritage stands with them. They noted that this generous donation has eased the burden of providing daily sustenance for their children and granted them a measure of peace and psychological stability amidst the difficult circumstances of displacement.
This effort is an extension of the long history of Saudi Arabia’s firm and supportive stances on the Palestinian cause at all levels, as the Kingdom, through its humanitarian arm, the King Salman Relief Center, continues to harness all capabilities to meet the humanitarian needs of the brotherly Palestinian people, thus embodying its noble values and its global mission of spreading goodness and peace.
