RIYADH: The head of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, spoke at the 80th UN General Assembly in New York, highlighting the need for humanitarian reform, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.
Al-Rabeeah discussed the current challenges facing the humanitarian community, noting that the closure of many projects has left millions without support and has forced humanitarian workers to leave their positions.
He emphasized that reform must go beyond the executive level to include accountability, transparency and inclusiveness.
The Kingdom, represented by KSrelief, views the UN’s 80th anniversary as an opportunity to renew its collective commitment and promote sustainable reform, Al-Rabeeah added.
He stressed the need to ensure the system’s efficient operation, align it with development priorities, and ensure equitable geographic representation.
