RIYADH: King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center distributed 25,000 bread bundles to needy families in Lebanon, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday. The food packs were given to Syrian and Palestinian communities living in northern Lebanon, benefiting 62,500 individuals from 12,500 families. The aid is part of Saudi Arabia’s effort to support vulnerable families in the region and beyond. Around 100,000 Syrians relocated to neighbouring Lebanon after the civil war of 2011, with over 90 percent of Syrian households there living in poverty. The inflow of refugees into Lebanon has caused tensions within society as the country is struggling to cope with a persistent financial crisis and a simmering war with Israel on its southern border.   KSrelief also distributed 25 tonnes of dates each to Kyrgyzstan and Montenegro, the SPA said Friday.
