Saudi aid agency KSrelief has launched a food basket distribution project for 2024 in the Hajar district of Yemen’s Hadramout governorate.

The project coincides with the upcoming holy month of Ramadan, and aims to distribute food aid to 4,240 needy families in the area.

KSrelief has also launched a food basket project in Jakarta in collaboration with the National Board of Zakat of Indonesia.

Saudi Ambassador to Indonesia Faisal bin Abdullah Al-Amoudi attended the inauguration ceremony.

The project’s primary objective is to distribute 7,965 food baskets across four Indonesian regions: West Java, East Jakarta, Central Java and Banten. The initiative will benefit around 4,700 individuals.

The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s system of humanitarian and relief projects, which KSrelief provides to assist countries in need and ensure food security for their citizens.
Meanwhile, a team of medical volunteers from KSrelief recently visited hospitals in eastern Uruguay for assessment and to participate in medical activities.

Saudi Ambassador to Uruguay Eyad bin Ghazi Hakim met with the team to discuss the importance of strengthening humanitarian efforts between the two countries.

The team and the ambassador met with Uruguayan Minister of Public Health Karina Rando and other senior ministry officials.

The two sides discussed medical cooperation in Uruguay between KSrelief and the Ministry of Health.

The Kingdom organizes similar volunteer programs through KSrelief to support the health sector in needy countries and to improve medical services for patients.

KSrelief distributed 369 food baskets to displaced and needy groups in Dongola in Sudan’s Northern State, benefiting 1,987 individuals.

A KSrelief-funded ambulance service of the Subul Al-Salam Social Association in the Miniyeh district of northern Lebanon continues to respond to the needs of the sick and injured.

During the past week, 57 missions were carried out, including transporting patients to and from hospitals, and providing ambulance services to those injured in accidents.
