GAZA CITY, Palestine: A new Saudi relief convoy has arrived in the Gaza Strip, carrying food baskets and infant formula as part of the Kingdom’s continued humanitarian support for the Palestinian people.
The aid, provided by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), aims to address the urgent needs of children and families affected by the deepening humanitarian crisis, and to help improve food security amid growing famine in the region, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Monday.

This initiative is part of the campaign launched to provide relief to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and demonstrates Saudi Arabia’s continuous commitment to alleviating their suffering and mitigating the impact of the current humanitarian situation.
