Idlib, November 8, 2024 – The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has once again demonstrated Saudi Arabia's steadfast commitment to humanitarian assistance, with the recent distribution of food baskets and hygiene kits to 745 Syrian families in Al-Dana, Idlib Governorate, in northern Syria. This distribution, which took place on November 7, 2024, provided essential support to a total of 2,652 individuals who have been severely impacted by the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes that struck the region earlier this year.
The aid, which includes food supplies and hygiene kits, is part of the second phase of a larger relief initiative aimed at supporting families affected by the earthquake in northern Syria. The food baskets are designed to meet the immediate nutritional needs of vulnerable populations, while the hygiene kits offer critical items necessary for maintaining health and sanitation in the wake of the disaster. The support provided by KSrelief aims to alleviate the hardships faced by families who have lost their homes, livelihoods, and access to basic necessities.
This distribution underscores the ongoing efforts by Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, to provide life-saving assistance to those in need. The Kingdom’s role in global humanitarian aid has been a cornerstone of its foreign policy, with KSrelief at the forefront of providing aid to those affected by natural disasters, conflict, and other humanitarian crises. The relief efforts in Syria, particularly in areas such as Idlib, where the need is especially critical, reflect the Kingdom’s deep commitment to supporting communities in distress, regardless of nationality, religion, or ethnicity.
The second phase of the earthquake response project is just one example of Saudi Arabia’s larger humanitarian agenda to provide timely and effective assistance to affected populations worldwide. By providing both immediate relief and supporting long-term recovery efforts, KSrelief is helping to build resilience in communities that have been devastated by disaster. Through these efforts, Saudi Arabia continues to solidify its position as a leading global provider of humanitarian aid, contributing to the relief and recovery of countless individuals and communities in need.
In addition to its ongoing relief work in Syria, KSrelief has expanded its operations across multiple regions, addressing a wide range of humanitarian needs from food security and shelter to health services and education. This latest distribution in Idlib is yet another testament to the Kingdom’s dedication to alleviating human suffering and fostering global solidarity through humanitarian action.
