Saudi Leadership Offers Condolences to Emir of Qatar over Victims of Ras Laffan Gas Facility Explosion

Saudi Arabia's humanitarian assistance has reached unprecedented levels, with figures revealing the Kingdom's expanding global role in supporting refugees and displaced populations. The aid reflects a deep-seated commitment to humanitarian values and the preservation of human dignity worldwide.

Released figures show that Saudi Arabia has provided more than $23.7 billion in humanitarian assistance to refugees, displaced persons, and temporary residents. This support extends both within the Kingdom and through relief programs implemented across the globe, reinforcing Saudi Arabia's position as a leading global donor.

Domestically, refugees constitute approximately 5.5 percent of Saudi Arabia's population. The Kingdom offers them free healthcare and education, facilitates employment opportunities, and promotes societal integration. By 2026, assistance to refugees from Yemen, Syria, the Rohingya minority, and Sudan had surpassed $20.43 billion.

Internationally, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) is actively implementing relief programs. These include establishing refugee camps, operating mobile medical clinics, distributing essential supplies, and undertaking water and sanitation projects. Syria has been a major beneficiary, receiving 254 KSrelief projects valued at $290 million, including the management of clinics in Jordan's Zaatari Refugee Camp. Yemen has also received significant support, with 49 projects totaling over $145 million. In Palestine, KSrelief has carried out 41 projects valued at more than $17 million, including the establishment of a new camp for displaced Palestinians north of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
