The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by its humanitarian arm, the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid , continued its tireless efforts to alleviate the suffering of the brotherly Syrian people, as the center implemented a new distribution campaign for winter aid in Daraa Governorate in the Syrian Arab Republic.
In detail, the center distributed 542 vouchers for winter clothing, benefiting 542 individuals from displaced and affected families residing in the Al-Musayfirah and Busra al-Sham centers in rural Daraa. This distribution is a key component of the 2026 winter clothing distribution project (Kanaf) , which aims to provide warmth and protection to the most vulnerable groups during the winter season.
The importance of the "Kanaf" project in facing the winter cold
The "Kanaf" project is of paramount importance given the harsh climatic conditions in the region, where temperatures plummet in Syria, exacerbating the suffering of displaced people living in camps or shelters lacking adequate heating. The voucher system adopted by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center is unique in that it allows beneficiaries the freedom to choose clothing that suits their needs and their children's sizes, thus preserving their dignity and enhancing the effectiveness of the assistance provided.
The humanitarian context and ongoing Saudi efforts
This initiative is an extension of the long history of humanitarian support provided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to its brothers and sisters in Syria since the outbreak of the crisis. Through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, the Kingdom is working to bridge the gap in basic needs, particularly in the sectors of food security, shelter, health, and education. Daraa Governorate is among the areas whose infrastructure has been severely damaged, making the arrival of external aid a lifeline for families who have lost their sources of income.
The economic and social impact of aid
These vouchers are not only important for providing physical warmth, but also for easing the financial burden on families, especially given the rising prices of clothing and fuel globally and locally. By providing winter clothing, the center allows families to allocate their limited financial resources to meet other urgent needs such as food and medicine, thus contributing to strengthening the social resilience of vulnerable groups.
This relief activity confirms the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s firm commitment to standing by affected peoples around the world and responding to urgent humanitarian appeals in accordance with the highest international standards in relief work, to ensure that aid reaches those who deserve it with full transparency and professionalism.
