Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has initiated a relief air bridge to provide critical assistance to the Lebanese people in response to the dire situation, amid intensifying Israeli strikes on the country.
The initiative, which is in line with the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, aims to alleviate the suffering caused by the ongoing crisis, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
The first plane departed Sunday from Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport to Beirut, carrying food, medical aid, and shelter materials.
In a statement to SPA, KSrelief Supervisor General and Advisor to the Royal Court Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah stressed that this humanitarian assistance reflects Saudi Arabia's commitment to helping people in need worldwide. He said that the Kingdom will continue to provide support to countries facing hardships and crises.

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.
