The 3rd Saudi relief plane, carrying 30 tons of assistance for the Ukrainian People, arrived at the Polish Rzeszow Airport near the Ukrainian border and will continue its route across the Polish border into Ukraine, the Saudi Press Agency reported Saturday.

The cargo consists of shelter materials, electric generators, and medical supplies, SPA said.

Saudi Arabia signed last week an agreement and a memorandum of understanding to provide an additional package of humanitarian assistance to Ukraine worth $400 million, which includes the provision of humanitarian aid from the Kingdom to Ukraine at a value of $100 million.

The Kingdom has previously provided urgent medical and relief aid worth $10 million for refugees fleeing Ukraine to neighboring countries, particularly Poland, in coordination with the Polish government and United Nations agencies.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, in partnership with the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques, reported more than 11.9 million Umrah performances during the month of Jumada Al Akhira by pilgrims from inside and outside the Kingdom, according to official statistics.

This remarkable figure reflects the growing momentum of performing Umrah and highlights the exceptional efficiency of the services and facilities dedicated to serving the worshipers.

The data also revealed that over 1.7 million Umrah performers arrived from outside the Kingdom during this month. This influx underscores the positive impact of advanced digital platforms and integrated logistical services, which have streamlined arrival procedures and allowed Umrah performers to perform their rituals with ease, comfort, and peace of mind, SPA reported.

The continued surge in the performance of Umrah rituals embodies the Kingdom’s unwavering commitment to cultivating the Hajj, Umrah, and visitation ecosystem, in line with the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030.

Through continuous innovation and care, the Kingdom is making access to the two holy mosques easier while delivering a comprehensive spiritual journey that prioritizes the comfort and safety of Umrah performers at every stage—from planning their visit to departing the Kingdom.
