Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz ordered on Monday the provision of medical oxygen to Jordan as it suffers a severe shortage in supplies due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), with the support of the Jordanian health ministry, will see that liquid oxygen, oxygen cylinders and regulators will be provided.

King Salman’s gesture stems from the fraternal and humanitarian role played by Saudi Arabia towards brotherly and friendly states.

KSrelief has since the beginning of the pandemic been coordinating with the Jordanian health ministry to meet its health needs.
