Saudi relief aid to the Palestinian people continued to flow to the Rafah land crossing between the Gaza Strip and Sinai in Egypt on Friday, carrying hundreds of tons of medical, food, and shelter supplies.

The aid is part of the Saudi popular campaign to provide relief to the Palestinian people in Gaza under the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) team received the first batch of Saudi sea bridge shipments at Port Said Port in Egypt before transferring them to the Palestinian people in the enclave.

The shipment consisted of 1,050 tons of food and medical and shelter supplies to help alleviate the people's suffering in Gaza.

The 16th, 17th, and 18th Saudi relief planes also arrived at al-Arish International Airport in Egypt on Friday, carrying 39 tons of aid and ambulances in preparation for transporting them to the Strip.

The aid is within the framework of the Saudi relief and humanitarian efforts to provide relief to the Palestinian people in Gaza through its humanitarian arm, the KSRelief Center, and within the Kingdom's long-standing commitment to supporting the Palestinian people in various crises.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt stressed on Friday the need for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.”

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abduallah held telephone talks with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty to discuss the situation in Lebanon and the Israeli escalation in the region, given the ongoing coordination and cooperation between Riyadh and Cairo.

An Egyptian foreign ministry spokesman said the FMs condemned the Israeli assault on Lebanon that has left hundreds dead and wounded.

He stressed Saudi Arabia and Egypt’s “full solidarity with Lebanon and its brotherly people during this crisis.”

They underlined the importance of offering all forms of humanitarian assistance to the people and enabling the state and all of its institutions to perform their duties and impose its sovereignty throughout the country.

The FMs expressed their categorical rejection of any measures that may impact Lebanon’s sovereignty across its territories.

Moreover, they warned that the prolongation of the escalation may have consequences on the people of the region.

Prince Faisal and Abdelatty called for the full implementation of United Nations Security Council resolution 1701 by all concerned parties.

Furthermore, the FMs called on the international community, especially the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities in reaching an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt will continue to coordinate to address the dangers in the Arab region caused by the Israeli assault against the Lebanese and Palestinian people.
