KSrelief Delivers Ramadan Food Baskets in Sudan, Yemen

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) delivered this week 950 food baskets to those quarantined in Yemen to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.

This came in cooperation with Al-Khair Coalition for Humanitarian Relief which reached 5,700 people.

The delivery comes within the framework of the humanitarian efforts exerted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by the KSRelief, to face the COVID-19 in the Yemen.

Also in Sudan, the Riyadh-based center worked with Al-Igtinam Organization for Human Development to distribute 4,711 food baskets to those in need, benefiting 28,266 individuals.

During the delivery of aid, all the necessary procedures to stop the spread of COVID-19 were taken.

This comes within the framework of a project to distribute 38,211 food baskets during the holy month of Ramadan in Sudan.

The Qatar Red Crescent and the UN agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) signed an agreement on Sunday, with $4.5 million from a Qatari state development fund, to aid more than 4,400 stranded Palestinian workers and patients from Gaza in the West Bank.

"Cash assistance will represent vital support for those displaced who have not been able to return to the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Strip last October," a statement from the Qatar's state news agency said.

"Thousands of Palestine refugees from Gaza remain trapped in the West Bank, trapped in this crisis situation, stranded from their loved ones and livelihoods," UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said.

Since Israel's blockade of Gaza began in 2007, movement in and out of the Strip has been heavily restricted, forcing individuals to seek medical care, education, or jobs in the West Bank, while escalating violence often closes borders, trapping those in need of essential services.
