Saudi Gazette reportGAZA —
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has continued its efforts to supply clean water to residents of the Gaza Strip, as part of its emergency intervention project in the water and sanitation sector, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).Through this initiative, clean drinking water is being delivered to thousands of families, particularly displaced persons and vulnerable populations.
The project includes the operation of five water tankers, each with a 10-cubic-meter capacity, distributing potable water daily. It also entails transporting 1,800 cubic meters of water per day to shelters and host communities using 36 tankers.
To support long-term access, KSrelief is distributing 23,232 jerrycans and 19,800 buckets, helping ensure safe water storage for more than one million people.
Meanwhile, three KSrelief relief trucks carrying 20 tons of diverse medical supplies arrived in Sarmada, Idlib Governorate, in northwestern Syria.
The aid, delivered in coordination with the World Health Organization (WHO), will be distributed to 45 health facilities, based on field-verified needs.
This support aims to reinforce frontline medical teams and enable the provision of care in the most underserved areas, reaching an estimated 150,000 beneficiaries.
Dr. Abdullah Al-Moa’lem, Director of Health and Environmental Aid at KSrelief, affirmed that the center’s continued efforts will help strengthen healthcare systems in crisis areas and ensure a lasting positive impact.
Rosa Crestani, WHO Emergency Health Lead in Gaziantep, expressed gratitude to KSrelief, noting that the aid would help keep essential health facilities open and equip medical staff with critical supplies. She confirmed the distribution will target hospitals and clinics in both Idlib and Aleppo governorates.
