In a statement issued following the signing ceremony, KSRelief chief Dr. Abdullah Al-Rabeeah said the center signed contracts worth $4,657,595 on the directives of King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He said that the projects highlight the role of the Kingdom in making efforts to provide relief to the suffering humanity across the world.
