The first Saudi relief plane landed at Aleppo International Airport in Syria, carrying urgent relief aid, including shelter materials for those affected by wildfires in Latakia Governorate. This aircraft marks the beginning of the Saudi air bridge operated by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense.

In a statement to the SPA, Advisor at the Royal Court and Supervisor General of KSrelief Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah noted that this humanitarian assistance reflects the spirit of brotherly and humanitarian solidarity that characterizes the government of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. He noted that this marks the 17th aircraft in the Saudi air bridge initiative, with this flight being the first dedicated to supporting the Syrian people.

Dr. Al Rabeeah stressed that the Kingdom prioritizes humanitarian work as a core mission stemming from its noble values and long-standing generosity, and out of its belief that human dignity is a fundamental right for every individual on earth.

KSrelief also signed a cooperation agreement yesterday with the Syrian Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management to provide essential equipment, supplies, and machinery needed to combat wildfires in the town of Kassab, in Latakia Governorate. The agreement aims to enhance the rapid and effective response capacity through technical and logistical support for field firefighting teams.

These humanitarian efforts are part of the Kingdom's ongoing commitment, through KSrelief, to easing the suffering of those affected and fulfilling its substantial humanitarian role in aiding the needy and disaster-stricken people worldwide.
