A new Saudi plane loaded with medical and health relief arrived in Türkiye’s Gaziantep region to aid victims of last week’s devastating earthquake.

The aircraft, the seventh to fly from the Kingdom, was carrying some 100 tons of aid that will go to a Turkish hospital in Gaziantep.

Assistant Supervisor General Director for Planning and Development at the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) Dr. Aqeel Al-Ghamdi said the latest batch of aid includes medical equipment, solutions, intensive care beds and electricity generators.

The aid will be delivered to the Turkish Ministry of Health that will distribute them accordingly.

Saudi Arabia had launched an air bridge, to aid quake victims in Türkiye and Syria, at the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, reflecting the humanitarian role played by the Kingdom.

Turkish parliament Speaker Mustafa Sentop hailed Saudi Arabia’s aid response, describing the Kingdom as a “brother and friend.”

Touring the devastated areas on Monday, he added: “The brother and friend is revealed during times of need and the Saudis have proven that they are brothers and friends.”

Saudi search and rescue teams had been dispatched to the quake-stricken regions. They have been working tirelessly in search of survivors even though the chances of finding any grow dim by the minute.

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.
