The Saudi Foreign Ministry has disbursed $50 million to Jordan as part of a fourth aid installment to help the country fund its budget.

The move came at the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

At the 2018 Makkah Summit, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE approved a package of economic aid to Jordan totaling $2.5 billion by 2023. Each of the three countries agreed to send $50 million annually to Jordan.

Saudi Arabia said the move strengthens the fraternal ties between the two Kingdoms and affirms the Saudi permanent backing for the government and people of Jordan to support its development projects in the general budget.

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
