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.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt stressed on Friday the need for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.”

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abduallah held telephone talks with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty to discuss the situation in Lebanon and the Israeli escalation in the region, given the ongoing coordination and cooperation between Riyadh and Cairo.

An Egyptian foreign ministry spokesman said the FMs condemned the Israeli assault on Lebanon that has left hundreds dead and wounded.

He stressed Saudi Arabia and Egypt’s “full solidarity with Lebanon and its brotherly people during this crisis.”

They underlined the importance of offering all forms of humanitarian assistance to the people and enabling the state and all of its institutions to perform their duties and impose its sovereignty throughout the country.

The FMs expressed their categorical rejection of any measures that may impact Lebanon’s sovereignty across its territories.

Moreover, they warned that the prolongation of the escalation may have consequences on the people of the region.

Prince Faisal and Abdelatty called for the full implementation of United Nations Security Council resolution 1701 by all concerned parties.

Furthermore, the FMs called on the international community, especially the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities in reaching an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt will continue to coordinate to address the dangers in the Arab region caused by the Israeli assault against the Lebanese and Palestinian people.
