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.

GCC Condemns Israeli Confiscation of Jerusalem Land Housing UNRWA Headquarters

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General, Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, strongly condemned on Friday the decision by Israeli occupation forces to confiscate the land on which the UNRWA headquarters is located in occupied Jerusalem.
He considered the decision a serious violation of international conventions and United Nations resolutions, threatening to undermine the agency's efforts to provide essential services to Palestinian refugees, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Albudaiwi emphasized the GCC's support for UNRWA's vital role in providing humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees.
He called on the international community to take responsibility in compelling the Israeli occupation forces to reverse this decision, thereby enabling the agency to effectively perform its duties.
He also called for ensuring the protection of UNRWA facilities and staff, as well as halting all attacks and illegal practices carried out by the occupation forces against the agency.
Israel has confiscated land on which the UNRWA headquarters is located in East Jerusalem, with plans to build 1,440 settlement units on the site.
