The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by its humanitarian arm, the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid, continued to provide its high-quality medical services to the Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip, as part of a series of volunteer projects aimed at alleviating the severity of the humanitarian and health crisis in the Strip.
In the latest statistics on these efforts, the center's medical team successfully performed 99 general surgeries at the Arab National Hospital in the Gaza Strip. These efforts extended beyond surgical procedures, encompassing the provision of medical and consultative services to 402 patients who visited the general surgery clinic between December 5th and 27th, 2025.
Supporting the health sector under exceptional circumstances
This medical campaign is of paramount importance given the dire circumstances facing the health sector in Gaza, which suffers from a severe shortage of specialized medical personnel and a scarcity of pharmaceutical and surgical supplies as a result of the ongoing events. The intervention of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center is a crucial support for the resilience of the Palestinian health system, as these operations contribute to saving patients' lives and reducing the long waiting lists that have multiplied due to the immense pressure on hospitals.
Extension of the Kingdom's leading role
This project is not a one-off event, but rather a link in a long chain of continuous Saudi support for the Palestinian cause. Since its establishment, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has focused on providing assistance to affected populations, with Palestine being at the forefront of Saudi humanitarian efforts. This aid ranges from air and sea bridges and airdrops of food supplies to the deployment of specialized medical teams to perform delicate and complex surgeries within the Palestinian territories.
Humanitarian impact and alleviation of suffering
The volunteer medical project for general surgery aims to achieve a tangible impact on the ground by providing comprehensive healthcare to those most in need. This initiative comes in implementation of the directives of the wise leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to stand with the brotherly Palestinian people in their plight and to dedicate all resources to alleviating their humanitarian suffering. This reflects the deep fraternal ties between the Saudi and Palestinian peoples and affirms the Kingdom's unwavering commitment to supporting just humanitarian causes in the region and the world.
