Coordination for aid distribution

The Saudi ambassador to Nepal said the support reflects the Kingdom’s commitment, under the guidance of its leadership, to stand with friendly nations facing natural disasters and to help alleviate their humanitarian impact.

A specialized team from the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center will coordinate with relevant authorities to ensure the aid reaches those affected by the floods.

A representative of the Nepalese government expressed gratitude and appreciation to Saudi Arabia for its support, highlighting the deep friendship between the two countries.

This initiative is part of the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts, through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, to support those in need in friendly and allied nations during times of crisis.
