- The shipment is part of Saudi humanitarian aid in support Syria's effort to rebuild after years of civil war
NASIB BORDER CROSSING: Sixty relief trucks carrying food, shelter, and medical supplies has crossed into Syria on Friday via the Nasib crossing on the Jordan-Syria border, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The shipment is part of the Saudi humanitarian aid in support of efforts by Syria's new leadership to rebuild the country after years of civil war.
Organized by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), this delivery brings the total number of trucks to 174, the report said.
Sixteen relief airplanes have also arrived at Damascus International Airport as part of the Saudi air relief bridge, carrying similar supplies and a KSrelief team.
KSrelief Supervisor General Abdullah Al-Rabeeah launched the air bridge last month and said "it will be followed by a land bridge in the coming days to provide urgent relief to the Syrian people.”
In a statement, he highlighted Saudi Arabia’s consistent support since the Syrian crisis began in 2011, with KSrelief continuously providing aid to internally displaced Syrians, refugees in neighboring countries, and victims of the northern Syrian earthquake in February 2023.
KSrelief has said the Kingdom’s total aid to the Syrian people from 2011 to the end of 2024 exceeds $856 million.
