King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) inks agreements with Syrian Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management.
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has forged several cooperative agreements with the Syrian Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, as part of ongoing humanitarian efforts to support Syria.
The signings took place on Sunday in Damascus in the presence of key officials from both entities.
Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah, an advisor at the Royal Court and supervisor general of KSrelief, and Raed Al-Saleh, Syrian minister of emergency and disaster management, were among those present to witness the agreements.
From KSrelief's side, Eng.
Ahmed Al-Baiz, assistant supervisor general of operations and programs, also signed on behalf of the center.
The first agreement centers around joint cooperation for debris removal and management in Darayya and Douma cities within Rural Damascus Governorate.
This pact aims to clear over 75,000 cubic meters of rubble that are currently hindering movement and hindering recovery efforts in these areas.
KSrelief plans to establish a rubble management unit that will recycle at least 30,000 m³ of debris, enhance local capabilities by equipping them with necessary tools for sustainable future operations, thus reducing environmental impact.
This project is expected to benefit more than 4 million individuals.
Another agreement focuses on the rehabilitation of sewage networks in the Qaboun area of Damascus Governorate.
Under this accord, KSrelief and the Syrian Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management will rehabilitate existing sewage infrastructure, clean exposed canals, and seal them.
This move is anticipated to improve access for residents, reduce the spread of infectious diseases, bolster environmental health sustainability, and elevate public safety standards.
Approximately 21,000 individuals are projected to benefit from this agreement.
KSrelief has also entered into a joint support agreement with a civil society organization aimed at revitalizing wheat production in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.
This initiative will boost food security and livelihoods within the region by re-establishing wheat supply chains and upgrading agricultural infrastructure for irrigation and drainage systems.
Additionally, KSrelief plans to introduce improved Syrian wheat varieties into the local market and provide technical support services for agricultural extension and mechanization.
This integrated approach targets small farmers across 2,750 hectares, benefiting approximately 16,500 individuals, comprising 2,750 families.
These collaborations are part of a broader strategy by KSrelief to bolster essential sectors and enhance living conditions in Syria, thereby promoting food security and community self-sufficiency.
