Saudi Arabia to Build 3,000 Homes in Turkey and Syria

Advisor at the Royal Court and General Supervisor of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief), Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, said Tuesday, February 14th, that KSRelief provided tents for earthquake-affected people and they will construct 3,000 temporary buildings. 

During a call on the Al-Ekbaria channel, Al-Rabeeah said “tens of thousands of people need shelters and the priorities of the Saudi team are to carry out a rescue operation of those trapped under the rubble and to provide the necessary support such as medicine, food, and urgent healthcare.”

The Saudi aid campaign was recently in Turkey and northern Syria and they will be in Aleppo on  February 15th. Volunteering opportunities for the campaign are still open to people who want to apply and help with Saudi's relief efforts. 

Al-Rabeeah also stated “Saudi Arabia was one of the first countries that reached the quake-hit regions immediately after the occurrence of the disaster. It is communicating with the Syrian Red Crescent to set priorities and provide support in Aleppo.”

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman gave various directives to KSRelief for earthquake relief efforts including launching a fundraising campaign and dispatching relief resources and rescue teams to Türkiye and Syria.
