The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) continue to distribute various relief supplies to people affected by the earthquake in Aleppo, northern Syria, where 830 foodstuff and 830 hygiene kits were distributed in Rajo, benefiting 830 families.

This comes as part of the humanitarian and relief aid that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provides through KSrelief, to countries and people in need worldwide.

Also, a KSrelief volunteer medical team paid a visit to Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, to study the need to implement voluntary medical programs aimed at providing treatment to patients and training for health personnel, in coordination with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's embassy in Iraq.

Health Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq Dr. Saman Barzanji welcomed the KSrelief team, pointing to the humanitarian role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its continuous support for Iraq in all humanitarian and relief sectors.

The medical team will make similar visits to the cities of Baghdad and Basra to complete the field study and develop a vision for the implementation of voluntary medical programs there.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi welcomed on Wednesday the agreement between the legitimate Yemeni government and Iran-backed Houthi militias to de-escalate the situation with regard to the Yemeni banking sector and airlines.

The agreement was announced by the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, on Tuesday.

Albudaiwi expressed the GCC's support for all regional and international efforts and the efforts led by the UN special envoy aimed at achieving peace and security in Yemen.

The announcement underscores the importance the international community attaches to the Yemeni crisis, he added, hoping the agreement will pave the way for Yemeni parties to start the political process, under UN auspices, to reach a comprehensive political solution that achieves security and stability in the country.

He reiterated the GCC's continued support and full solidarity with Yemen, its government and people, and its keenness to encourage all efforts to de-escalate and maintain stability in order to reach peace.
