Saudi Arabia supports international disaster relief efforts

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), has been leading humanitarian and relief efforts worldwide. Saudi Arabia’s ultimate goal is to serve people in need, regardless of their background, and to provide support and assistance in accordance with the principles of human brotherhood.

The Kingdom actively supports international and UN initiatives aimed at reducing the impact of disasters and crises. It has contributed significantly to alleviating suffering, improving living conditions, and achieving sustainable development goals.

Through the KSrelief, the Kingdom has provided $18 million to the United Nations to address the effects of natural disasters and marine pollution resulting from the FSO Safer.

In response to the severe drought and famine in Somalia, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia implemented specific projects to address the crisis. It undertook the rehabilitation and digging of new artesian wells, ensuring a supply of clean water to affected populations and livestock. Additionally, the Kingdom provided food security assistance to the most vulnerable groups, displaced persons, and those affected in Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Pakistan, and Sudan during humanitarian crises.

When a devastating earthquake struck Syria and Türkiye, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia demonstrated its commitment to humanitarian aid by swiftly responding. It operated relief air bridges, dispatched volunteer and medical teams, and supported local and international relief efforts.

The Kingdom has also made generous contributions to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, providing food, shelter, and medical aid through air and sea bridges and airdrops. The Kingdom recently established a camp for displaced Palestinians in Khan Yunis to assist those affected by sea high waves and damaged tents.

On October 13th, the Kingdom joins the world in celebrating the International Day for Disaster Reduction, promoting a culture of disaster prevention, preparedness, and solidarity with those affected by humanitarian crises.
