Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has achieved a significant milestone in the realm of international humanitarian efforts by ranking second globally and first in the Arab world among donor countries in humanitarian aid and relief for the year 2025.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the United Nations Financial Surveillance Service (FTS) reported that Saudi Arabia also rose to the top of the list of countries donating humanitarian aid to the Republic of Yemen, contributing 49.3% of the total aid granted to Yemen. In addition, the Kingdom ranked second among countries donating aid to the Syrian Arab Republic and in development aid among non-member donor countries for the year 2024, securing its position as tenth in development aid volume among both member and non-member countries.
Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Royal Court Advisor and General Supervisor of the King Salman Relief and Humanitarian Action Center (KSrelief), emphasized that the Kingdom's leading role on the global humanitarian stage is a testament to the unwavering support from its leadership and reflects the values of generosity and benevolence inherent in Saudi society. He highlighted that this achievement marks the culmination of Saudi Arabia's long-standing tradition of aiding those in need worldwide, prioritizing human life and dignity.
Dr. Al Rabeeah also pointed out that these accomplishments have been documented in real-time on the "Saudi Aid Platform," the largest aid platform in the region. This institutional approach, guided by the vision of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince, has fostered significant global impact, cementing the Kingdom's prominent status in international humanitarian aid rankings.
