The aid plan will be implemented immediately through the existing collaboration between KSrelief and UNRWA, and will cater the critical humanitarian conditions and challenges inside Gaza, including the severely restricted humanitarian access into the area.
Targeted plans will be implemented to ensure that emergency support and services are provided to affected groups as early as possible.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands with the Palestinian people, and is providing comprehensive support and humanitarian relief to Gaza through the work of KSrelief, the Kingdom’s global humanitarian aid representative.
