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.

Jordan King Insists Palestinians Must Remain on Their Land

Jordan's King Abdullah II said Wednesday that Palestinians must remain on their land, after US President Donald Trump floated an idea for Gazans to move to Jordan and Egypt.

He stressed during meetings in Brussels "Jordan's firm position on the need to keep the Palestinians on their land and to guarantee their legitimate rights, in accordance with the Israeli and Palestinian two-state solution", the royal palace said in a statement.

US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Egypt and Jordan should take in Palestinians from Gaza, which he called a "demolition site" following 15 months of Israeli bombardment that made most of its people homeless.

The war, set off by Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israel, has killed more than 47,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children according to local health authorities, who do not distinguish between civilians and combatants in their count.  

The fighting has obliterated vast areas of Gaza, displacing some 90% of its 2.3 million population, often multiple times. During its attack, Hamas took 250 people hostage and killed roughly 1,200.  

The theme of displacement has been recurrent in Palestinian history and the idea of staying steadfast on one's land is an integral element of the Palestinian identity. Palestinians fear that if they leave their land, they may never be allowed to return.  

Those fears have been compounded by far-right members of Israel's government who support rebuilding Jewish settlements in Gaza, from which Israel withdrew troops and settlers from in 2005. Netanyahu says that idea is unrealistic.  

Egypt and Jordan have each made peace with Israel but support the creation of a Palestinian state in the occupied West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem. They fear that the permanent displacement of Gaza’s population could make that impossible.
