Saudi Arabia – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has launched a significant humanitarian effort to provide winter kits to over 150,000 people across 26 districts in Pakistan, as part of its annual program supporting vulnerable communities during the cold season, the organization announced Monday.

The initiative was inaugurated at the Saudi Embassy in Islamabad, with Pakistan’s Minister for Religious Affairs Sardar Muhammad Yousuf and Saudi Ambassador Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki in attendance.

Under this program, KSrelief will distribute 22,000 winter kits in the country’s coldest regions. Each kit contains two polyester quilts, warm shawls for men and women, and winter clothing suitable for children and adults.

Speaking at the ceremony, Yousaf thanked Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for expressing their unconditional love for the Pakistani people through this project.

“King Salman Relief Center is active all around the world in humanitarian activities, including Pakistan,” the minister said. “These kinds of measures are bringing the people of two countries further close.”

The Saudi charity has launched numerous projects across Pakistan in food security, health, education and disaster response in recent years, deepening the bonds of friendship and brotherhood between the two countries.

The winter kits will be distributed in regions affected by harsh winter conditions, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, as well as selected areas of Punjab and Sindh provinces that experience low temperatures, according to KSrelief.
