Islam teaches us that we are responsible for helping the afflicted
and the poor, and that we must also attempt to preserve human life and dignity
whenever possible. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a significant mission to
fulfill in delivering relief and aid to all in the world who are in need.
Towards fulfilling this mission,
we hereby announce the establishment of the King Salman
Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, dedicated to coordinating and providing
international relief to crisis-afflicted communities, alleviating suffering and
providing the essentials to allow people everywhere to live good lives.
We are allocating the sum of one billion Saudi Riyals to support
the center’s relief and humanitarian efforts. This amount is additional to the
one billion Saudi Riyals previously allocated to meet the relief and
humanitarian needs of the Yemeni people.
Dear brothers,
Our primary goal is to operate this center solely on the basis of
humanitarian need and without any other motive. We will accomplish this goal
through close cooperation with fully-accredited international humanitarian
relief organizations and other vital support partners.
Our full commitment to “Restoring Hope” to our Yemeni brothers and
sisters also gives the center a clear mandate to provide the highest level of
attention and care to their humanitarian needs. We ask God to bless you all and
grant you prosperity and ask Him to make our efforts successful. May He also
preserve security and stability in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in the wider
Arab and Islamic nation. May God’s peace and blessings be upon you, and may
peace prevail all over the world.
Peace and Allah's mercy and blessings be upon you all
Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
