The shipment includes a large quantity of food baskets and tents in preparation for delivery to those affected in the Gaza Strip, as part of the Saudi popular campaign to aid the Palestinian people in the enclave.

The relief supplies come as an extension of the humanitarian efforts delivered by the Kingdom through KSrelief to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza, who are facing humanitarian conditions that threaten children and women amid cold weather and difficult living conditions.
