The 19th Saudi relief plane, operated by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), left Riyadh for El-Arish International Airport in Egypt.

The aid includes food, shelter and medical materials weighing 39 tons, in preparation for transporting them to the affected Palestinian people inside the Gaza Strip.

This aid comes within the framework of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's historic role in standing with the brotherly Palestinian people in the various crises they are going through.
