In brief
The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center remains active in Deir Al‑Balah, Gaza, offering digital vocational courses to 1,000 people most in need. Participants say the training gives them new abilities, confidence, and psychological help, helping them start businesses and support their families. The program is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader aid to Palestinians, aiming to restore hope amid displacement.
Sanctioned by Saudi Press Agency on Nov 7, 2026, KSrelief announced that it has continued its economic empowerment program in Deir Al‑Balah, a town in the Gaza Strip. The initiative is carried out with the Saudi Center for Culture and Heritage.
Designed to help the most vulnerable, the program reaches 1,000 individuals, many of whom have disabilities. Participants receive digital courses that teach skills they can use to work or start their own small businesses.
Beneficiaries said the training has helped them make productive use of their time. They also gained practical experience that makes it easier to launch income‑generating projects and provide for families. The courses also include psychological support to help people cope with the hardships of living in displacement camps.
Many recipients expressed deep gratitude to Saudi Arabia and KSrelief for the help. They said the aid went beyond emergency relief, offering a real source of livelihood and dignity. The program is described as a “source of hope” for people facing a difficult future.
Saudi officials say the assistance reflects the Kingdom’s commitment to Palestinians, standing by them through various crises. By providing skills and emotional support, the program aims to promote long‑term independence instead of temporary aid.
