A new batch of Saudi relief convoys provided by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) crossed the Rafah border crossing on Thursday.

The aid included food, shelter, and medical assistance to be delivered to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

This comes as a part of the fundraising aid campaign provided to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and within the framework of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's historic role in standing with the brotherly Palestinian people in times of crisis.

The Preliminary Committee of the Sudan Doctors Syndicate said on Wednesday that more than 73 people died in Al-Hilalia city and its neighboring areas in Al-Jazira State due to the worsening health situation.
“Eastern areas of Al-Jazira face a worsening humanitarian disaster, as a result of violent and ongoing attacks by the militia (Rapid Support Forces),” the committee said in a statement.
It said Al-Sabagh Rural Hospital, which is the basic facility for providing medical care to the displaced people, is receiving patients that largely exceed its capacity, and is also facing a critical shortage of medical staff, medicines and basic medical supplies.
The statement listed the dire conditions under which the displaced people in the New Halfa city are living. It said those people are sleeping in the open without shelter or blankets, and are lacking access to safe drinking water.
The committee therefore called on the regional and international community to “immediately intervene to stop this humanitarian tragedy.”
A wave of violence and armed attacks in Al-Jazira State since October 20, have led to the displacement of more than 135,000 people (27,000 families) to various locations in Sudan.
In April 2023, fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces spread into a deadly civil war across Sudan, causing a hunger crisis with millions forced out of their homes.
