RIYADH: Saudi aid agency KSrelief continues to provide health, food, and shelter assistance to those in need in Yemen, Pakistan, Lebanon, and Sudan, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
In Yemen, KSrelief recently delivered emergency aid to people affected by flash floods in the Al-Abr district of Hadramout governorate. The aid included 146 tents, 200 shelter bags, and 360 food baskets.
KSrelief also launched a measles vaccination campaign for children in Yemen’s Hajjah governorate. Governor Abdulkarim Al-Sunaini urged residents to cooperate with health teams, emphasizing the importance of these campaigns in combating the spread of viral diseases. He also thanked Saudi Arabia for its rapid response to the needs of the Yemeni people.
The vaccination campaign targets children and teens and includes awareness and health education efforts. It will also include monitoring pregnant women to gather data for health-service planning and promote early child immunization.
To achieve these goals, the campaign employs eight permanent centers and seven mobile teams across Midi, Hiran, Abs, and Haradh in Hajjah governorate, and Razih in Saada governorate. The plan is that the campaign will result in the vaccination of more than 15,000 children.
In Pakistan, KSrelief distributed 355 food baskets in the Dera Ismail Khan area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, benefiting 2,485 individuals from vulnerable groups in flood-affected areas.
KSrelief also continues its Al-Amal Charitable Bakery project in Akkar governorate and Miniyeh district in Lebanon, providing 25,000 bundles of bread daily to families in need, including Syrian and Palestinian refugees and local communities in northern Lebanon. This initiative supports 62,500 individuals.
In Sudan, KSrelief distributed 300 food baskets to needy families and displaced groups in the Abu Halima region of Khartoum state, reaching 1,800 people.
The SPA stated that these initiatives “reflect Saudi Arabia’s commitment to humanitarian aid through KSrelief, aimed at alleviating suffering during humanitarian crises worldwide.”
