Saudi Leadership Directs Intensified Air, Sea, and Land Relief for Palestinians in Gaza

Riyadh, January 04, 2026, SPA -- Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, have directed the intensification of air, sea, and land aid efforts in response to the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip through the Saudi Campaign to Support the Palestinian People.
In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) Supervisor General Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah emphasized that this generous directive is a continuation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s humanitarian efforts to assist those affected in the Gaza Strip through the Saudi campaign. He added that it reflects the Kingdom’s longstanding historical role in supporting the Palestinian people during various crises and hardships, reaffirming that Palestine will always remain firmly rooted in the hearts of the Kingdom, its leadership, and its people.
Al Rabeeah expressed his gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and HRH the Crown Prince for this generous humanitarian gesture, noting that the Kingdom’s continuous giving is a deeply rooted value of the Saudi people, a firmly established practice that has never wavered, and a noble stance upheld in all circumstances.
Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, has operated an air and sea bridge to provide relief to the brotherly Palestinian people. To date, 77 planes and eight ships have delivered more than 7,600 tons of food, medical, and shelter supplies. In addition, 912 Saudi relief trucks have reached the Gaza Strip carrying food aid, shelter supplies, medical items, and equipment, while 20 ambulances were delivered to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. The center has also signed agreements with international organizations to implement relief projects inside the strip worth $90.35 million and has carried out airdrop operations in partnership with Jordan to bypass closed crossings and ensure the delivery of aid.
