Marking International Day of Charity, observed on September 5, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) highlighted Saudi Arabia's extensive humanitarian work. Since 1975, the Kingdom has provided over $141 billion in aid, funding 8,134 projects in 174 countries.

As a leading global institution, KSrelief has implemented 3,632 projects in 108 countries over the past decade, with a value exceeding $8.15 billion. These projects have provided vital assistance to millions of people in countries such as Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and Somalia.

The center's recent efforts in the Gaza Strip include delivering over 7,500 tons of aid and 20 ambulances via air and sea bridges.

The "Sahem" electronic donation platform has also collected over SAR1.61 billion, reflecting public trust in the organization.

In recognition of its work, KSrelief has received several international awards, and the Kingdom successfully initiated the United Nations' designation of November 24 as World Conjoined Twins Day.

This commitment to humanitarianism aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 to foster a more equitable and inclusive future for all.
