The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has supported with USD$15 million the first phase of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine refugees emergency humanitarian response plan for the Gaza Strip.

The plan aims to provide food security, shelter, non-food items, emergency health supplies, water and environmental sanitation works.

UNRWA is the only international organization that can carry out relief activities for affected people inside the Gaza Strip.

The plan will be implemented immediately through an active partnership between KSrelief and UNRWA in light of the critical humanitarian conditions, challenges and the siege on the Gaza Strip across specific programs.

The move reflects the keenness of Saudi Arabia, represented by KSrelief, to stand by the Palestinian people during the current humanitarian crisis.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reaffirmed that supporting stability in Sudan, securing a ceasefire, and preserving the country's territorial integrity and state institutions remain its top priorities. It emphasized that resolving the crisis ultimately requires a Sudanese-led political solution, the Saudi Press Agency said on Saturday.

The remarks were made by Saudi Arabia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Dr. Abdulaziz Alwasil, during a UN Security Council session on Sudan.

Alwasil said that the continued conflict, deteriorating security situation, and failure to implement the commitments made under the Jeddah Platform and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions have contributed to worsening the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

He stressed Saudi Arabia's commitment to ending the conflict, bringing the Sudanese parties closer together, and resuming political dialogue based on the Jeddah Declaration.

The Saudi permanent representative to the United Nations also condemned the targeting of humanitarian aid convoys and the crimes committed in the city of El-Fasher, expressing the Kingdom's concern over the human and humanitarian losses resulting from the continued conflict.

He reiterated the Kingdom's rejection of any measures that undermine Sudan's unity or its institutions, welcomed regional and international efforts aimed at reaching a permanent ceasefire, and affirmed Saudi Arabia's continued humanitarian assistance to the Sudanese people.
