LONDON: The first aid convoys sent by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center to Gaza crossed the Rafah border crossing into the enclave on Sunday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The humanitarian aid, which includes food and shelter supplies, is part of a national Saudi aid campaign for Palestinians in Gaza, launched under the direction of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman earlier this month.

Meanwhile, a fourth Saudi relief plane carrying aid from the Kingdom to Gaza arrived at El-Arish International Airport in Egypt on Saturday.

The initiative is in line with Saudi Arabia’s longstanding commitment to supporting the Palestinian people during times of crisis.
