KSrelief Delivers Humanitarian Aid Projects in Yemen, Lebanon

King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has continued the implementation of the water and environmental sanitation project in Yemeni directorates of Hajjah and Saada governorates.

The project has been implemented in the districts of Midi, Hayran, Harad, and Abs in Hajjah and Al-Azhor camp in Saada’s Razih district.

In Hajjah, 692,000 liters of potable water and 8.09 million liters of usable water were pumped from April 12 to 18. Meanwhile, 30,100 individuals in Saada have benefited from the delivery of 70,000 liters of potable water and 70,000 liters of usable water to the governorate.

The Riyadh-based center has also continued its project of enhancing the healthcare services provided to the Syrian refugees and the host community in the town of Arsal in the Lebanese governorate of Baalbek.

In March 2023, Arsal Healthcare Center provided 11,663 services to 5,935 patients in the departments of clinics, pharmacy, laboratory, and nursing as well as through the community and psychological health program.

Males constituted 43 percent of the patients who received healthcare in the center, while females represented 57 percent of beneficiaries.

Also, 60 percent of the beneficiaries were refugees and 40 percent of them were residents.

The aid comes within the framework of the keenness of the Kingdom, represented by KSrelief, to provide humanitarian aid for the needy and Syrian refugees in all fields to alleviate their suffering amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

The humanitarian aid system in Gaza is "facing total collapse" because of Israel's blockade on aid supplies since March 2, the heads of 12 major aid organizations warned Thursday, urging Israel to let them "do our jobs".

Israel has vowed to maintain its blockage on humanitarian aid to the war-ravaged territory, saying it is the only way to force Hamas to release the 58 hostages still held there.

"Every single person in Gaza is relying on humanitarian aid to survive," the chief executives of 12 NGOs, including Oxfam and Save the Children, wrote in a joint statement.

"That lifeline has been completely cut off since a blockade on all aid supplies was imposed by Israeli authorities on March 2," they said, adding that "This is one of the worst humanitarian failures of our generation."

A survey of 43 international and Palestinian aid organizations working in Gaza found that almost all have suspended or drastically cut services since a ceasefire ended on March 18, "with widespread and indiscriminate bombing making it extremely dangerous to move around", the NGOs said.

"Famine is not just a risk, but likely rapidly unfolding in almost all parts of Gaza," they said. "Survival itself is now slipping out of reach and the humanitarian system is at breaking point."

"We call on all parties to guarantee the safety of our staff and to allow the safe, unfettered access of aid into and across Gaza through all entry points, and for world leaders to oppose further restrictions."

Israel's renewed assault has killed at least 1,691 people in Gaza, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory, bringing the overall toll since the war erupted to 51,065, most of them civilians.

Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people, also mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.
