The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) distributed on Friday food baskets in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip in coordination with the Palestinian Red Crescent.

The move is part of the fundraising campaign to aid the brotherly Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

The aid reflects Saudi Arabia’s historical support to Palestine in various humanitarian and relief sectors.

It embodies the great humanitarian role played by the Kingdom through its humanitarian arm, KSrelief, towards brotherly and friendly countries enduring crises.

Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa received a delegation from Bahrain on Wednesday and met with the Bahraini foreign minister, state media reported.

The visit was the latest in a flurry of diplomatic overtures by Arab countries to Syria’s new leaders after they overthrew former President Bashar al-Assad in a lightning rebel offensive.

Like other Gulf countries, Bahrain had cut off diplomatic ties with Syria under Assad’s rule during the Syrian civil war, but it reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018 and gradually restored ties with the Assad government.

Bahrain is the current head of the Arab summit, and days after Assad’s ouster it had sent a message to al-Sharaa offering its cooperation with the new authorities and saying, “We look forward to Syria regaining its authentic role in the Arab League.”
