This assistance is part of the fundraising campaign directed by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to provide relief to the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Ambassador to Egypt, Abdurrahman bin Salem Al-Dahas, and the Saudi Consul General in Suez, Khalid bin Ali Al-Shamrani, received the aircraft at the airport.
The aid is an extension of Saudi Arabia’s support for Palestine in various humanitarian and relief areas.
It also shows the great humanitarian role played by the Kingdom through its humanitarian arm, the King Salman Relief Center, towards other countries.
