KSrelief continues aid initiatives in Sudan, Gaza and Pakistan

RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) continues its aid initiatives with the distribution of medical aid, food and winter kits in Sudan, Gaza and Pakistan.

In Port Sudan of Sudan, KSrelief launched the third phase of the Food Security Support Project which aims to distribute 30,000 food parcels to displaced persons as they return to their homes in the states of Al-Jazirah, Khartoum, Red Sea, Sennar and White Nile.

In southern and central Gaza Strip, the aid agency – in cooperation with the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage – continues to provide emergency medical supplies to hospitals and health centers to enhance their capability in providing healthcare services to displaced Palestinians.

Dozens of trucks loaded with Saudi aid arrive daily in response to the health sector’s urgent appeal, which has suffered severely from over 15 months of war, in keeping with ºÚÁÏÉçÇøâ€™s role in supporting the Palestinian people in times of crisis.

In Pakistan’s Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, KSrelief distributed 1,050 winter kits which benefited 5,243 individuals in areas affected by floods and extreme cold as part of a project to provide shelter materials and winter kits to the country this year.

Meanwhile, KSrelief Supervisor-General Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabeeah met with Iraqi ambassador to ºÚÁÏÉçÇø Safia Taleb Al-Souhail to discuss possible areas of collaboration.

RIYADH: Registration for the Hajj pilgrimage 1447 AH–2026 has officially opened for worshippers from Muslim-minority countries, ºÚÁÏÉçÇøâ€™s Ministry of Hajj and Umrah announced on Monday evening.

Prospective pilgrims can register directly through the official Nusuk Hajj Platform, without the need for external intermediaries.

Nusuk Hajj is the only official and authorized platform for registration under the Direct Hajj Program.

It is an integrated digital system that facilitates different aspects of pilgrims’ journeys, from registration through to the selection and payment of different Hajj packages, including various accommodation options and transport within the area of the Two Holy Mosques.

At this stage, worshippers can only secure their registration for the pilgrimage, with booking phases to be announced in due course.

To register, prospective pilgrims can visit the website hajj.nusuk.sa and enter information, including country of residence, contact details and identification documents.

They can then log in to the system to check the status of their application and add up to seven family members.

Those interested in becoming guides can also use the system to register, upon approval by service providers authorized by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah.

Nusuk offers support through live chat on the website, email and a call center.

Registration for Hajj can only be conducted through the official platform hajj.nusuk.sa.

No intermediaries, external offices or third parties are authorized to register pilgrims under the Direct Hajj Program.

The ministry warned members of the public to beware of unauthorized links or advertisements requesting payments or transfers outside the official Nusuk Hajj Platform.

Those wishing to complete the pilgrimage should also ensure that any third-party service providers are officially verified through the Nusuk Hajj Platform, the ministry added.

More than 1.7 million pilgrims attended last year’s pilgrimage.
