Riyadh — In implementation of directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, two relief airplanes, representing the first batch of the Saudi airlift dispatched by King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief), today left Riyadh loaded with food and shelter assistance for Sudan prior to transferring them to areas affected by floods. The two airplanes were accompanied by a specialized team from KSrelief to follow up and supervise the distribution process.
Advisor at the Royal Court and Supervisor General of KSrelief Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah, in a press statement, noted that the airlift that was launched earlier in the day will provide emergency relief to the brothers in Sudan whose country has recently faced heavy rainfall and flash floods that claimed several lives, injured others and caused huge losses in property.
Dr. Al Rabeeah noted that the assistance includes food and shelter items weighing more than 100 tons, stressing that this gesture reflects the wise leadership’s noble humanitarian feelings and big keenness to help brothers and friends across the world, as part of the wise approach adopted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since its establishment.
The supervisor general also prayed to Allah Almighty to save and protect the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
