Published in Saudi Press Agency on 03 - 03 - 2016

Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabiah, the Advisor at the Royal Court and General Supervisor of King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid, highlighted the relief and humanitarian aid provided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since it was founded by late King Abdulaziz Al Saud to affected people around the world.
This came in a speech delivered by Dr. Al-Rabiah at the seminar organized by King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid in Geneva on Thursday in the presence of a large number of representatives of humanitarian and relief organizations in the world.
Dr. Al-Rabiah reviewed the relief efforts and aid provided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 1950 till now. He said that the Kingdom came in seventh place among the largest donor countries in the world in 2014.
He explained that the assistance provided by the kingdom to foreign countries amounted to $ 66 billion, pointing out that this assistance was provided to 83 countries, regardless of religion, race and color.
Dr. Al-Rabiah also spoke about the Saudi Fund for Development, which was established in 1974 to stimulate economic growth in developing countries. He said that during the first four years since the establishment of the fund its services reached more than 55 countries.
He also reviewed the great relief efforts made by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud as he chaired many of the relief committees since 1956 until he took the reins of power in the kingdom, noting the establishment of the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid in 2015 under the sponsorship of the Custodian of the two holy mosques. "King Salman is the biggest supporter of the center and the catalyst for all its work," Dr. Al-Rabiah said.
Dr. Al-Rabiah spoke in detail about the relief efforts and humanitarian aid provided by the center in Yemen, Djibouti, Tajikistan and Mauritania. He said that millions of Yemenis have benefited from the programs offered by the center in Yemen and abroad, saying that these programs included the construction of 300 housing units for Yemeni refugees in Djibouti and the establishment of two modern medical clinics in Obouk refugee camp in Djibouti, pointing out that Yemenis in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also benefited from the services provided by hospitals and schools in the kingdom and were allowed to work in the kingdom.
The seminar was attended by President of the Human Rights Commission Dr. Bandar bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, Adviser to the Minister of Interior Dr. Orabi Al-Harthy, the Saudi Ambassador to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva Ambassador Faisal Bin Hassan Trad, UN Assistant Secretary General for Humanitarian Partnerships with the Middle East and Central Asia, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Geneva, Rashid Khalikov and a number of ambassadors and representatives of the countries and the human rights and humanitarian bodies.
