aid story
The Turkish Ministry of Health asked the King Salman Relief Center for specific medical aid, and within a few hours the medical demands, estimated at 84 tons, were secured, and the beehive in Riyadh is still working to secure the rest of the needs.
Saudi enthusiasm at the governmental and popular levels is unparalleled to stand by the Syrian and Turkish people, as the Saudi government support is without limits.
The Saudi youth volunteers endured the hardship of traveling in temperatures of minus 5 degrees, and weather conditions beyond one's endurance. They came for a humanitarian mission. They are really young people.. "whitening the face."
