King Salman Humanitarian Aid Center launches emergency water project in Gaza

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center on Sunday launched an emergency water supply project in the Gaza Strip, providing safe drinking water by distributing 220,000 liters daily to benefit more than 90,000 displaced people in camps and affected communities. The initiative is part of the Saudi Popular Campaign to support the Palestinian people.

The Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, the implementing partner of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid Center in Gaza, is carrying out the project's field activities. This includes supplying, transporting, and distributing safe drinking water to areas and displacement camps most in need, based on humanitarian priorities and on-the-ground requirements.

Dr. Essam Abu Khalil, head of the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage, said the project continues Saudi Arabia's humanitarian efforts through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center to meet the basic needs of the Palestinian people and strengthen the response in the water sector, which is closely linked to public health and daily life.

The project is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing support for the Palestinian people through its humanitarian arm, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid Center, and responds to the growing water needs across Gaza, amid damaged infrastructure and reduced access to safe water sources.
