JEDDAH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) delivered 185 tons of food to Al-Azariq district in Yemen’s Dhale governorate. Distribution started upon arrival and will continue in the coming days throughout the district, in cooperation with Yemen’s internationally recognized government. This is part of KSRelief’s assistance to the Yemeni people, and follows directives by the king and crown prince to ease their suffering. Al-Azariq is experiencing a humanitarian crisis due to severe drought. On Friday, the center distributed 2,500 food baskets in the governorate of Marib, benefiting 15,000 people. The distribution comes within the framework of humanitarian projects provided by the Kingdom for the Yemeni people. KSRelief’s projects are designed to help reduce the damage caused to the millions of Yemenis who have suffered at the hands of the Houthi militias for more than three years. Earlier, Abdullah Al-Moallem, head of the health and environmental aid department of KSRelief, said: “There were more than 4 million women and children suffering under severe humanitarian conditions because of the Houthi militias’ violations of human rights laws.”
