The General Supervisor of the King
Salman Center for Humanitarian Relief and Works, Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz
Al-Rabiah during a meeting with Kenyan Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Amb. Peter
Ogego said that the KSrelief will also provide urgent food and medical
assistance to Kenyans facing starvation.
In 2018 KSRelief distributed over
1200 tonnes of relief food aid to the Dadaab refugees after UN cut funding and
food aid ratio for the 3 refugee camps of Ifo, Hagadera and Dagahaley.
According to Amb. Ogego, the King
Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center will continue to work with the Kenya
Red cross in efforts to alleviate the suffering refugees as well as those
effected by droughts in several parts of Kenya.
The Ambassador also appreciated the
contribution of the Saudi Arabian government through the King Salman
Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center for philanthropic assistance to Kenya as
well as acknowledged the Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 reform plan and its focus
on building the Kingdom’s humanitarian and volunteer program capacities in
Kenya
