RIYADH: In response to a plea for help, Saudi Arabia’s aid agency KSrelief has ensured the treatment of a critically ill Palestinian child from Gaza, Ahmad Sabra. 

KSrelief arranged for Sabra’s treatment at the King Hussein Cancer Center in Jordan, the Saudi Press Agency reported recently.

The child’s family has expressed deep gratitude to Saudi Arabia for its swift response, which saved the youngster’s life and inspired hope among others from Gaza also seeking help, the SPA reported. 

KSrelief has also initiated a project to treat cancer patients from Gaza at the King Hussein Cancer Center as a part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people amid the ongoing crisis.

The Kingdom’s aid agency has also continued its humanitarian efforts in Mauritania, Yemen and Turkiye, the SPA reported.
