NASIB BORDER CROSSING: Sixty relief trucks carrying food, shelter and medical supplies entered Syria on Friday via the Nasib crossing on the border with Jordan, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The delivery is part of Saudi humanitarian aid in support of efforts by Syria’s new leadership to rebuild the country after years of civil war.
Organized by Saudi aid agency KSrelief, the delivery brings the total number of trucks to 174.
Sixteen relief airplanes have also arrived at Damascus International Airport as part of a Saudi air relief bridge launched last month, carrying similar supplies and a KSrelief team.
The agency’s supervisor general, Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, highlighted ºÚÁÏÉçÇø’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 February 2023 earthquake.
KSrelief has said the Kingdom’s total aid to the Syrian people from 2011 to the end of 2024 exceeded $856 million.
