The Saudi government reiterated on Tuesday the Kingdom’s call on all parties in Sudan to exercise restraint and show calm in wake of the military in the country.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet meeting that was held virtually from Neom.

The cabinet urged Sudanese parties against escalation and to preserve the political and economic gains of their revolution.

Saudi Arabia will continue to stand by the brotherly Sudanese people and support everything that achieves security, stability and prosperity in their country.

The cabinet also hailed the United Nations Security Council for condemning the attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen against Saudi territories and civilian installations.

The council statement, it said, was an important message of support to efforts aimed at ending the conflict in Yemen and reaching a comprehensive political solution.

The ministers underscored the Kingdom’s firm and constant stance in supporting the Palestinian cause and reaching a fair solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that secures the Palestinian people’s rights. They reiterated Riyadh’s statements before the United Nations Economic and Financial Committee that called for forcing Israeli authorities to comply with international resolutions and laws and end their occupation of all occupied Arab territories.

King Salman briefed the ministers on the message he had received last week from King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the one he sent to South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir. He also briefed them on the telephone talks he held with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

The cabinet hailed the success of the Saudi Green Forum and Middle East Green Initiative Summit. They praised the events for presenting several initiatives aimed at protecting the environment and confronting and limiting the impact of climate change.

Saudi Arabia reiterated on Monday its unwavering support for the unity, security, and stability of Sudan, stressing the need to preserve its legitimate state institutions.

The Kingdom demanded that the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) immediately cease their violations and adhere to their moral and humanitarian obligations. This includes ensuring the delivery of relief aid to those in need, in line with international humanitarian law and the Jeddah Declaration to Protect Civilians in Sudan, signed on May 11, 2023.

Saudi Arabia delivered its statement during the interactive dialogue on the High Commissioner for Human Rights' oral briefing regarding the situation in and around El-Fasher. The Kingdom's Permanent Mission to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva participated in the session.

Delivering the statement, Permanent Representative Ambassador Abdulmohsen bin Khothaila reiterated the Kingdom's "strong condemnation of the grave human rights violations committed during the RSF's attacks on El-Fasher."

He specifically highlighted "recent criminal attacks on health facilities, relief convoys, and civilian infrastructure, which have resulted in the deaths of dozens of displaced persons and unarmed civilians, including women and children."

Saudi Arabia's King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) inaugurated on Monday the women's and maternity clinic at Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza.

Implemented in cooperation with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the project marks the completion of restoration and rehabilitation work following extensive damage sustained during the conflict with Israel, which had forced the facility to close.

The clinic's rehabilitation is part of a broader initiative to ensure access to essential services and promote maternal and newborn health among the affected population in Gaza.

The project targets the rehabilitation and support of women's and maternity departments in three major hospitals: Friends of the Patient Hospital, Al-Khair Hospital, and Al-Awda Hospital. It aims to improve the quality of reproductive health services and ensure pregnant and lactating women have access to safe healthcare.

The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts, through KSrelief, to ease the suffering of the Palestinian people and provide essential services amid the significant challenges facing the health sector in Gaza.
