Saudi relief aid to the Palestinian people continued to flow to the Rafah land crossing between the Gaza Strip and Sinai in Egypt on Friday, carrying hundreds of tons of medical, food, and shelter supplies.

The aid is part of the Saudi popular campaign to provide relief to the Palestinian people in Gaza under the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) team received the first batch of Saudi sea bridge shipments at Port Said Port in Egypt before transferring them to the Palestinian people in the enclave.

The shipment consisted of 1,050 tons of food and medical and shelter supplies to help alleviate the people's suffering in Gaza.

The 16th, 17th, and 18th Saudi relief planes also arrived at al-Arish International Airport in Egypt on Friday, carrying 39 tons of aid and ambulances in preparation for transporting them to the Strip.

The aid is within the framework of the Saudi relief and humanitarian efforts to provide relief to the Palestinian people in Gaza through its humanitarian arm, the KSRelief Center, and within the Kingdom's long-standing commitment to supporting the Palestinian people in various crises.
