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 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) said on Saturday that the Iranian regime's continued terrorist acts targeting infrastructure and civilian facilities demonstrate its desire to destabilize security and stability in the region and undermine peace efforts.

GCC Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi condemned in the strongest terms the continuation of what he described as hostile Iranian attacks targeting Bahrain and Kuwait.

He reiterated that these "treacherous Iranian terrorist acts" represent a dangerous and irresponsible escalation, a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and a direct threat to regional security and stability.

Albudaiwi stressed that the security of Bahrain and Kuwait is an indivisible part of the security of the GCC nations.

He reaffirmed that the council countries stand in a united, steadfast position alongside Bahrain and Kuwait, fully supporting all measures they undertake to protect their security, safeguard their sovereignty and territorial integrity, and ensure the safety of their peoples.
