Saudi Arabia distributes winter clothing to students in Gaza through the King Salman Center
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center continued its tireless humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip, with its field teams completing the distribution of various winter clothing items to students in schools and educational centers in the northern Gaza Strip yesterday. This initiative comes in response to the harsh weather conditions faced by the population and is part of the Saudi popular campaign to aid the Palestinian people, as directed by the Saudi leadership.
The field teams of the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage – as the implementing partner of the King Salman Relief Center in the Palestinian territories – undertook the task of distributing winter clothing, in an initiative that was not limited to the material aspect only, but also included organizing recreational activities and psychological support for students, with the aim of bringing joy and happiness to their hearts in light of the exceptional circumstances they are living in.
This aid is of paramount importance at this time, given the onset of winter and the accompanying sharp drop in temperatures, which exacerbates the suffering of displaced persons and affected families in the Gaza Strip. Through these urgent interventions, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is working to provide warmth and protection to the most vulnerable groups, particularly children and school students, to ensure their continued education and protect them from illnesses associated with the harsh cold.
These efforts are an extension of the air and sea relief bridge that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has operated since the beginning of the crisis, which has delivered hundreds of tons of food, medical supplies, and shelter materials. These actions reflect the Kingdom's longstanding and unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, as it has dedicated all its resources through its humanitarian arm, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, to alleviate the severity of the humanitarian crisis, thus reaffirming its leading role in humanitarian work at both the regional and international levels.
It is worth noting that the Saudi popular campaign to aid the Palestinian people, which was launched through the “Sahem” platform, has received widespread popular support, enabling the center to implement multiple relief programs that include food security, shelter, health, water and environmental sanitation, thus forming a lifeline for many Palestinian families in light of the lack of basic resources in the sector.
