KSrelief sends 3rd relief ship to Palestinians in Gaza

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center on Saturday shipped the third batch of Saudi assistance to the Palestinian people in Gaza.

The shipment, carrying 300 large containers weighing 1,246 tons, includes 200 containers of medical supplies for hospitals in Gaza, and 100 containers of basic foodstuffs, baby formula and shelter material.

The ship set sail from Jeddah Islamic Port heading to Port Said in Egypt, from where it will be transported to Gaza.

It comes as part of the Kingdom’s historic role in standing with the Palestinian people.

Meanwhile, people sheltering in the south of Gaza after fleeing their homes earlier in the war said on Saturday they had nowhere safe to go now.

The city of Khan Younis is the focus of Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire after fighting resumed on Friday following the collapse of a week-long truce.

Its population has swelled in recent weeks as several hundred thousand people from the northern Gaza Strip have fled south.
