RIYADH: Sixty trucks passed the Jaber Border Crossing in Jordan in the first Saudi aid convoy aimed at assisting the Syrian people.
The operation is managed by Saudi aid agency KSrelief.
The trucks are preparing to enter Syria, carrying essential supplies such as food, shelter and medical assistance to help alleviate the difficult conditions faced by the Syrian people.
Also on Sunday, a sixth airlift relief plane to Syria, operated by KSrelief, arrived at Damascus International Airport, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The plane, which departed from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, carried food, shelter and medical supplies.
The humanitarian initiative reflects Saudi Arabia’s commitment to supporting people in need worldwide, the SPA added.
On Jan. 1, Saudi Arabia launched an initiative to provide essential aid to Syria, supporting efforts under the country's new leadership to rebuild after years of civil war.
According to KSrelief, the Kingdom’s total aid to the Syrian people from 2011 to the end of 2024 exceeds $856 million.
