Saudi Arabia highlights global support for refugees, displaced people on World Refugee Day

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia highlighted its expanding support for refugees and displaced people worldwide on World Refugee Day, with the Kingdom’s assistance to refugees, visitors and displaced communities reaching $23.761 billion as humanitarian programs continue across dozens of countries.

The latest effort came in the Gaza Strip, where the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) established a new camp on Saturday for displaced families north of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The camp is intended to provide safe shelter for families who have lost their homes amid the ongoing crisis and responds to growing needs in displacement areas across southern Gaza, where thousands of people are living in temporary settlements with limited access to basic services.
