The Saudi government reiterated on Tuesday the importance exerting all efforts to reach an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and its surrounding areas.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the government meeting that was held in Jeddah.

The Kingdom had declared its position on Gaza at the meetings of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). The cabinet underlined this position, calling for working on just and lasting peace and allowing the Palestinian people to obtain their legitimate rights in the establishment of an internationally recognized independent state.

The cabinet reviewed the outcomes of the discussions and meetings held in recent days between the Kingdom and various countries and organizations.

The talks focused on ties of friendship; bilateral and multilateral cooperation relations in all fields, especially international security and stability; and promoting principles of development, progress, and cultural advancement in all areas.

On local issues, the cabinet tackled ongoing programs and initiatives aimed at present development and future readiness.

This includes boosting infrastructure, improving service quality for citizens and residents, developing promising sectors, advancing telecommunications technologies, attracting investments, and stimulating national industries.

Moreover, the cabinet praised efforts aimed at bolstering the participation of Saudi youth in development paths, empowering the labor market to accommodate more national workers, and reducing the unemployment rate, which is close to the target set by the Saudi Vision 2030 at 7 percent.

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
