Riyadh, January 4, 2025 – In a continued demonstration of Saudi Arabia's commitment to humanitarian aid, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) launched its fourth relief flight today from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The plane, which is en route to Damascus International Airport, is carrying vital food, shelter, and medical supplies, intended to address the urgent needs of the Syrian people amid the ongoing crisis.
This latest aid delivery is part of a sustained effort by KSrelief to provide life-saving assistance to those affected by the conflict in Syria. The supplies onboard the flight are critical for thousands of Syrians who continue to face extreme conditions, including displacement, food insecurity, and limited access to medical care. The humanitarian aid being provided will help ease the immediate suffering of vulnerable populations, including internally displaced persons and those living in besieged areas with little access to resources.
Saudi Arabia has long been a leading contributor to humanitarian efforts in Syria, and this latest relief mission reinforces the Kingdom’s unwavering commitment to supporting the Syrian people during their most challenging times. Since the onset of the crisis, Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, has provided millions of dollars in aid, including medical assistance, food aid, shelter, and other essential supplies to help mitigate the effects of the war on Syrian civilians.
KSrelief’s ongoing efforts are part of a broader initiative to foster regional stability and alleviate human suffering across the Middle East. The center has established itself as one of the Kingdom’s key tools for delivering emergency relief worldwide, operating in a variety of crisis zones and playing a central role in promoting peace, recovery, and humanitarian assistance.
Today’s flight marks another important chapter in Saudi Arabia's efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Syria. By providing these essential resources, the Kingdom continues to demonstrate its leadership in international humanitarian relief, reaffirming its support for the Syrian people in their critical circumstances and underscoring the importance of solidarity and compassion during times of crisis.
