DAMASCUS — Saudi Arabia started airlifting relief supplies to Syria to alleviate the suffering of the people in the country. Two plane-load of relief aid arrived in Damascus, capital of Syria, on Wednesday.

The airlift of relief supplies, including food, shelter, and medical supplies, is being operated by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), the humanitarian arm of Saudi Arabia.

The first relief plane of the Saudi airlift arrived at Damascus International Airport on Wednesday morning. A team from KSrelief also arrived in Damascus on board the plane carrying the relief supplies. The aircraft was received by Chargé d'Affaires of the Saudi Embassy in Syria Abdullah Al-Harees, President of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent Dr. Mohammed Hazem Bakleh, and several media representatives.

Speaking on the occasion, Al-Harees emphasized that this assistance is an extension of Saudi Arabia's continuous humanitarian and relief efforts for the Syrian people through the KSrelief, with the goal of alleviating their suffering caused by the ongoing crisis.

Bakleh expressed his profound gratitude to Saudi Arabia for its humanitarian and relief assistance to Syria. "The relief supplies will be distributed among those in need across all Syrian territories without discrimination," he said.

A second relief plane of the Saudi airlift landed at Damascus airport later on Wednesday. This humanitarian assistance reflects Saudi Arabia’s commitment to alleviating the suffering of those affected in Syria. This assistance is an extension of Saudi Arabia's continuous humanitarian and relief efforts through the KSrelief to support those in need worldwide during times of crisis.
