14 Saudi Arabian Ambulances Enter Gaza Strip

JAKARTA - A total of 14 ambulances provided by King Salman's Humanitarian Aid Center (KSRelief) have entered the Gaza Strip through the Egyptian-Gaza border gate in Rafah on Friday (1/12).

Six other ambulances immediately arrived in the area, said KSRelief in a written statement received by ANTARA in Jakarta, Saturday, December 2.

The ambulances are equipped with all emergency medical equipment, such as detectors or medical problem monitors, oxygen devices, first aid boxes, burn care equipment, brankars or stretchers, trunks or pawnshops and bandages, as well as other emergency equipment.

The ambulances are part of Saudi Arabia's National Campaign to Support the Palestinian People in the Gaza Strip.

During the Saudi aid campaign for Gaza, 23 aid aircraft carrying more than 542 tons of aid for shelters, food and medical supplies, have arrived in the region to address the urgent humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Two sealift carriers have also been dispatched to deliver additional 101 containers of aid.

Of that number, 58 containers contain medicines and medical solutions for emergency and critical care, while the remaining 43 containers carry foodstuffs and evacuation materials.

KSRelief is present in around 90 countries around the world and presents experienced volunteers from various backgrounds such as Technical and Vocal Training Corporation, the United Arab Volunteers, and the Saudi Red Crescent.

The KSRelief program, held in countries in need around the world, reflects the ability and efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in providing humanitarian assistance.
