Saudi Aid Targets 75,000 People After Flores Earthquake
Saudi Arabia’s KSRelief and Indonesia’s BAZNAS have begun distributing 15,000 food parcels and 15,000 hygiene kits for people affected by an earthquake on Flores.
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Saudi Arabia has begun distributing emergency food and hygiene supplies to more than 75,000 people affected by an earthquake on Flores, an Indonesian island, in a relief operation involving the two countries’ humanitarian agencies.
The first phase, launched Friday, Nov. 6, 2026, includes 15,000 food parcels and 15,000 hygiene kits. The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) is coordinating the distribution with Indonesia’s National Alms Agency (BAZNAS).
The supplies are intended to address basic needs following the earthquake. Food parcels support household meals, while hygiene kits provide items for day-to-day cleanliness and sanitation—needs that can become harder to meet when a disaster disrupts daily life.
First phase of Saudi relief
KSRelief and BAZNAS said the two types of assistance are aimed at more than 75,000 people affected by the quake. The announced quantities total 30,000 parcels and kits, directed toward communities facing the consequences of the disaster.
The partnership links Saudi humanitarian assistance with an Indonesian agency for delivery to residents on Flores. The distribution is the first phase of the operation, according to the information provided.
KSRelief said its humanitarian work supports communities affected by disasters around the world. In Flores, the initial effort comprises 15,000 food parcels and 15,000 hygiene kits for more than 75,000 people.
