The delivery is part of a larger commitment of 125 vehicles aimed at supporting the country’s healthcare system. They will be handed over in Poland ready to travel over the border.

The ambulances were officially delivered to the Ukrainian authorities by the director of KSrelief’s health and environmental aid department, Dr. Abdullah Al-Muallem. Also present was Mohammed Rashid Al-Hadithi, the Kingdom’s deputy ambassador to Poland.

The initiative forms part of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing humanitarian and relief efforts. Medical and shelter supplies, along with electrical devices and generators, were also delivered by 21 aircraft.
