A delegation from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) praised the humanitarian projects implemented by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) in the Gaza Strip.

The OCHA delegation conducted a field visit to the Gaza Strip to observe the center’s relief interventions and response mechanisms in support of the Palestinian people, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

The delegation commended the scale and diversity of the field assistance provided by the center, as well as its role in alleviating the suffering of Gazans and supporting the most vulnerable groups.

They also praised the level of organization and response efficiency in terms of delivering relief operations amid the escalating humanitarian conditions in the enclave.

The delegation began its tour with a visit to KSrelief’s central kitchen, which provides hot meals daily to families in displacement camps. The facility produces around 25,000 meals per day as part of a continuous operational system aimed at strengthening food security and easing the living burdens of affected families.

The delegation observed the kitchen’s operations, including meal preparation, packaging, transportation, and distribution, as well as the efforts of field teams working with the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, KSrelief’s implementing partner in Gaza.

The tour also included visits to food basket distribution points. The delegation followed field distribution operations targeting the most vulnerable families under a relief program aimed at expanding the scope of beneficiaries and reaching various areas across the strip.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Thursday the repeated Iranian attacks on Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, and the continued violations of their sovereignty which “escalate tensions in the region.”

A Foreign Ministry statement called for “de-escalation, the avoidance of any further escalation, and the exercise of wisdom by returning to diplomatic engagement and continuing the constructive negotiations” sponsored by Pakistan, along with the efforts exerted by Qatar.

Such a move “spares the region and its people the consequences of the return of war and contributes to the restoration of security and stability in the region and the world,” the statement added.

Permanent Representative of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations Dr. Abdulaziz Alwasil affirmed the centrality of the Palestinian cause for the Arab world, saying achieving a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the Middle East requires ending the Israeli occupation and enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination.

In a statement delivered on behalf of the Arab Group during a high-level Security Council meeting on the Middle East, Alwasil also referred to recent Iranian attacks targeting several Gulf states and Jordan, describing them as violations of the principles of good neighborliness, international law, and the United Nations Charter.

He stressed the need to respect state sovereignty and avoid actions that threaten regional security and stability.

He further condemned the continued Israeli aggression against Lebanon, reaffirming rejection of any violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty or targeting of its army, and stressing the importance of complying with international resolutions and respecting states’ sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Alwasil also denounced repeated Israeli incursions and attacks on Syrian territory, stressing the Arab Group’s rejection of such violations, which undermine Syria’s sovereignty and threaten regional security and stability.

He emphasized the importance of political solutions, dialogue, and mediation as the most effective means of addressing regional crises and resolving conflicts peacefully, thereby contributing to security, stability, and development for the peoples of the Middle East.
