In response to an urgent appeal from the World Health Organization (WHO) and 
under the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin 
Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is to provide USD 10 million in 
financial support to WHO for urgent action needed to minimize the spread of 
COVID-19 and to support countries with vulnerable health infrastructures.    

Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Supervisor General of King Salman Humanitarian Aid and 
Relief Centre (KSrelief) said this royal directive reflected the Kingdom's 
noble humanitarian role and reaffirmed its commitment to providing vital global 
assistance to all in need. KSrelief, he added, is working in cooperation with 
United Nations agencies and other leading humanitarian organizations in order 
to safeguard public health and well-being.

Dr. Al Rabeeah expressed his appreciation for this generous gesture from the 
Kingdom's leadership and for Saudi Arabia's ongoing humanitarian efforts to 
support people around the world in a timely manner in times of crisis.

The Supervisor General concluded with his hopes and prayers that humanity would 
be protected from the dangers of all diseases and epidemics, and that people 
around the world could look forward to a future full of health, peace and 
prosperity.
