Sudan, Yemen Receive Humanitarian Aid from Saudi KSrelief Center

King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) launched Friday a project to deliver food aid to displaced families and those in dire need in Marib governorate, Yemen.
The project aims to distribute 6,207 baskets with essential food commodities to 43,449 people among the most vulnerable groups in Marib.
Dr. Abdu Rabbo Miftah, the Undersecretary of Marib governorate, hailed the efforts made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through its humanitarian arm, KSrelief, in helping thousands of displaced and affected families.
Miftah highlighted the importance of such projects in helping alleviate the suffering of the needy in Yemen.
The project aims to provide food to the families that suffer from food shortages in nine Yemeni governorates, including Marib, said the Director of the KSrelief office in Marib Abdulrahman Al-Sayaari.
This effort is part of the 2023 food aid project for the displaced and needy people in Yemen, which aims to distribute 179,982 food baskets in the country every two months.
This is in addition to aid provided through emergencies in the governorates of Marib, Hadramout, Mahrah, Shabwah, Al-Jawf, Hodeidah, Socotra, Hajjah, and Saada.

According to SPA, KSrelief has also distributed 18.7 tons of food baskets in Karary locality in Sudan’s Khartoum State.
The aid was delivered Wednesday to 2,153 displaced people as part of the project to support food security in Sudan for 2023.

Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Israel of committing a "live-streamed genocide" against Palestinians in Gaza by forcibly displacing most of the population and deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe.

In its annual report, Amnesty charged that Israel had acted with "specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, thus committing genocide".

Israel has rejected accusations of "genocide" from Amnesty, other rights groups and some states in its war in Gaza.

The conflict erupted after the Palestinian group Hamas's deadly October 7, 2023 attacks inside Israel that resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.

Hamas also abducted 251 people, 58 of whom are still held in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.

Israel in response launched a relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip and a ground operation that according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory has left at least 52,243 dead.

"Since 7 October 2023, when Hamas perpetrated horrific crimes against Israeli citizens and others and captured more than 250 hostages, the world has been made audience to a live-streamed genocide," Amnesty's secretary general Agnes Callamard said in the introduction to the report.

"States watched on as if powerless, as Israel killed thousands upon thousands of Palestinians, wiping out entire multigenerational families, destroying homes, livelihoods, hospitals and schools," she added.

'Extreme levels of suffering'

Gaza's civil defense agency said early Tuesday that four people were killed and others injured in an Israeli air strike on displaced persons' tents near the Al-Iqleem area in Southern Gaza.

The agency earlier warned fuel shortages meant it had been forced to suspend eight out of 12 emergency vehicles in Southern Gaza, including ambulances.

The lack of fuel "threatens the lives of hundreds of thousands of citizens and displaced persons in shelter centers," it said in a statement.

Amnesty's report said the Israeli campaign had left most of the Palestinians of Gaza "displaced, homeless, hungry, at risk of life-threatening diseases and unable to access medical care, power or clean water".

Amnesty said that throughout 2024 it had "documented multiple war crimes by Israel, including direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects, and indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks".

It said Israel's actions forcibly displaced 1.9 million Palestinians, around 90 percent of Gaza's population, and "deliberately engineered an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe".

Even as protesters hit the streets in Western capitals, "the world's governments individually and multilaterally failed repeatedly to take meaningful action to end the atrocities and were slow even in calling for a ceasefire".

Meanwhile, Amnesty also sounded alarm over Israeli actions in the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank, and repeated an accusation that Israel was employing a system of "apartheid".

"Israel's system of apartheid became increasingly violent in the occupied West Bank, marked by a sharp increase in unlawful killings and state-backed attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinian civilians," it said.

Heba Morayef, Amnesty director for the Middle East and North Africa region, denounced "the extreme levels of suffering that Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to endure on a daily basis over the past year" as well as "the world's complete inability or lack of political will to put a stop to it".
