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.

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.
