Saudi Arabia continued to deliver aid to the devastated Gaza Strip with the eighth and ninth planes loaded with relief landing in Egypt’s al-Arish on Friday ahead of their delivery to the coastal enclave.

The planes, flown out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), were carrying six ambulances out of 20 that will be sent to Gaza.

The aid is part of a popular donation campaign launched by Saudi Arabia to aid the Palestinian people in Gaza. The campaign was ordered by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s historic role in standing with the Palestinians throughout various crises and plights.

Palestine Red Crescent Society director general Marwan Jilani expressed his gratitude to the Saudi leadership and people for their noble humanitarian role and efforts to support the Palestinian people.

The KSrelief team underscored Saudi Arabia’s determination to ensure that the aid is delivered to those in need in Gaza to help ease their suffering.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
