A Legacy of Compassion: KSrelief’s Impact

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre set a world record for the Voluntary Medical Centre project for cochlear implants for Syrian children in Reyhanli City, Republic of Turkey, under the Saudi Hearing Program. The project occurred between October 31 and November 6, 2024, and the medical team involved in the campaign implanted 122 cochleae in 14 hours.

On behalf of the Centre’s staff, the Crown Prince, and the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabeeah, the advisor to the Royal Court and Supervisor General of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, expressed gratitude for their unwavering support of the Centre’s work and the humanitarian bridges the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is constructing with all nations through it, which has elevated the Kingdom to the forefront of humanitarian efforts.

Also, it enabled the kingdom to sustain this level of recognition on a regional and global scale. Its assistance to millions of families afflicted by epidemics, wars, and crises worldwide has been invaluable, and its cooperation with other countries has yielded noteworthy results for the betterment of people in need.

Naturally, this relates to the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre’s work in 2024; we also can’t overlook the centre’s recent efforts to build a land and air bridge to the Syrian Arab Republic, which has been devastated by 14 years of conflict, leaving families displaced and infrastructure destroyed.

Impressively, all Syrian governorates received various food items, humanitarian supplies, and medical equipment that the centre sent out on nine flights.
