The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) delivered a new shipment of shelter aid to the Gaza Strip on Saturday, targeting urgent winter needs for displaced residents and offering protection from increasingly harsh weather conditions.

The delivery forms part of the broader Saudi campaign to support the Palestinian people, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The latest consignment included fully equipped tents prepared by the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, KSrelief’s executive partner in Gaza, ahead of distribution to affected families.

The Kingdom has so far established air and sea bridges that have transported more than 7,677 tons of food, medical supplies, and shelter materials aboard 74 aircraft and eight ships.

Saudi Arabia has also supplied 20 ambulances to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. In addition, the center has signed relief agreements for projects in the strip totaling $90.35 million and is conducting joint airdrop operations with Jordan to widen access to aid.

The latest delivery underscores the Kingdom’s continued efforts to ease the humanitarian crisis facing Palestinians in Gaza.
