Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) sent on Monday two relief ships from Jeddah Islamic Port for the Palestinian and Sudanese people.
The eighth relief ship for Palestinians carries food baskets, shelter materials, generators and heavy equipment such as bulldozers, water tankers and forklifts, and will head to El-Arish Port in Egypt.
So far, eight ships and 50 planes have delivered over 6,500 tons of aid to Palestinians in Gaza Strip.
The 31st relief ship for the Sudanese people carries food, shelter and medical supplies, and will head to the port of Suakin.
Thirty-one ships and 13 planes have so far delivered over 14 tons of aid to the Sudanese people.
In a statement, KSrelief Supervisor General Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah lauded the generous support provided by the Saudi leadership to humanitarian work around the world.
Saudi Arabia has always extended support to the Palestinian and Sudanese people, and to various other countries and peoples, in an effort to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable groups wherever they are, he stressed.
The assistance is in keeping with Saudi Arabia's historic role in supporting people in need in times of crisis, he added.
