RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA: King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) signed a USD five million agreement with the World Food Programme (WFP) to provide food support to displaced Palestinians in Gaza; the agreement was signed by KSrelief Supervisor General, Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, and the Executive Director of WFP, Ms. Cindy McCain. 

The food aid provided by the project, in the form of ready-to-eat meals, is expected to benefit 377,855 displaced Palestinians in Gaza. 

Since the start of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, KSrelief following the directives of the Kingdom's leadership, launched a fundraising campaign through the national Sahem platform to provide relief aid to Palestinians.

The relief aid to Gaza included the delivery of 44 relief planes with more than 800 tons of aid and six relief ships with 5,000 tons of relief supplies, including medical supplies, food, and shelter aid; the center has also delivered 20 fully equipped ambulances to Gaza.

KSrelief also signed four joint agreements with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the World Health Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and WFP, to provide relief aid to Palestinians in Gaza, with a total of SAR 150 million. 

A recent financial support memorandum was also signed with UNRWA, worth USD 40 million to support its emergency appeal in Gaza.

The agreement is part of the humanitarian and relief efforts of KSrelief, the Kingdom's helping hand to the world, in cooperation with international organizations to help and support Palestinians in Gaza.
