 At the meeting in the United Kingdom’s Parliament, he noted that KSrelief was established on May 13, 2015, as a generous initiative by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to serve as a specialized entity delivering diverse humanitarian and relief programs.
 Al Rabeeah stated: “The center has implemented 3,400 projects in 107 countries, with a total value of some $8 billion, covering vital sectors such as food security, education, health, protection, nutrition, water and sanitation, and other essential areas to address humanitarian needs worldwide.”
 He pointed out that the center has carried out 1,089 projects specifically dedicated to women worldwide, with a total value exceeding $868 million, and 1,029 projects focused on children, worth over $1 billion, benefiting more than 219 million children.
 He also highlighted the Saudi Conjoined Twins Program, a globally unique initiative that receives conjoined and parasitic twins from around the world and covers all expenses related to their separation surgeries, medical care, and post-operative rehabilitation. Since its inception in 1990, the program has evaluated 149 cases from 27 countries and successfully performed 62 separation surgeries
 Regarding refugees in the Kingdom, Al Rabeeah noted that Saudi Arabia is among the leading host countries, referring to refugees as "visitors," with a total of 1,095,029 individuals from Yemen, Syria, and Myanmar. The Kingdom grants them the right to work and provides free healthcare and education in public schools.
 Officials at the House of Lords praised the Kingdom’s humanitarian and relief efforts through KSrelief, recognizing its role in supporting global humanitarian action and alleviating the suffering of vulnerable and affected populations worldwide.
