The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) continued to provide aid to the victims of the devastating earthquake that struck Syria and Türkiye last month.

On Wednesday, it distributed 11,156 blankets and mattresses in Aleppo’s Afrin and Jindires, as well as the city of al-Bab. The aid will benefit 14,082 people.

KSrelief had operated an emergency air bridge in wake of the earthquake at the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The Kingdom has provided shelters, food and medical supplies to the stricken regions. It also signed a cooperation agreement to respond to the needs of victims that will benefit 218,138 people.

The agreement will see the activation of a mobile medical system that includes 20 clinics. It will also support hospitals and health facilities and provide them with medicine and surgery supplies.

Sudanese army commander and head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan held talks in Port Sudan on Saturday with Saudi Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Eng. Waleed bin Abdulkarim El-Khereiji, who was in Sudan on a short visit.

The talks in the interim capital focused on relations between Saudi Arabia and Sudan and means to bolster them.

The Kingdom is keen on ensuring that security and stability are restored in Sudan, local media quoted El-Khereiji as saying.

Authorities in Port Sudan did not issue an official statement following their meeting.

El-Khereiji had previously said Saudi Arabia was tirelessly working on resolving the crisis in Sudan.

Ending the crisis starts with a halt in the fighting and bolstering the humanitarian response, he went on to say.

This will pave the way for a political future that guarantees the country’s security, stability and territorial integrity and stops foreign meddling, he added.
