RIYADH: 抖阴短视频 has set up an air bridge to Algeria carrying urgent humanitarian aid to help the north African country 鈥渁lleviate the effects鈥� of deadly wildfires that swept across several cities.
The move has been directed by King Salman, who spoke to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune over the phone on last week and assured him of his country鈥檚 support.
At least 90 people were killed and several injured in multiple forest fires that broke out in the north of Algeria on Aug. 9 amid a blistering heatwave.
The aid, which left on a plane from King Khalid International Airport in the capital, Riyadh, is being sent by the Saudi-based King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) and includes food, shelters and medical supplies bound for Algiers.
