JEDDAH: The general supervisor of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) reviewed his organizations projects in Tajikistan.
Saudi Arabia has always provided assistance and relief to all peoples and countries in need, without any discrimination, said Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah.
KSRelief, since its establishment in 2015, has implemented 469 projects in 42 countries worldwide, he added. After Yemen, Tajikistan is the second-biggest recipient of KSRelief aid, he said.
The center has helped people affected by earthquakes and floods in Tajikistan, and cooperated with the Tajik Red Crescent and other bodies to implement several important projects, Al-Rabeeah added.
KSRelief gave the country 50 tons of dates as a gift from the Saudi government, and is donating state-of-the-art equipment to the Committee of Emergency Situations and Civil Defense in Tajikistan, he said.
Al-Rabeeah stressed the Kingdoms concern regarding humanitarian crises worldwide. KSRelief signed a $2 million deal to help provide health care for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, and has visited camps there to inspect humanitarian projects and study refugees needs.
Saudi Arabia receives Yemeni, Syrian and Rohingya refugees, who are “provided with all facilities, like free health care and free education,” said Al-Rabeeah.
KSRelief also signed a deal to provide educational services to student refugees in Malaysias capital Kuala Lumpur.
