KSrelief Delivers Aid for Displaced Yemenis, Syrians

King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) distributed this week 640 shelter bags in Yemen.

The aid reached 2,827 people. This came in cooperation with Al-Khair Coalition for Humanitarian Relief.

The aid comes within the framework of what the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provides through the KSrelief to support the food security in various Yemeni governorates without exception.

The Riyadh-based center also continued to provide its services to the Syrian refugees in Zaatari camp, Jordan.

The total number of the beneficiaries reached 279 patients in different clinics on Tuesday.

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.
