RIYADH — Saudi Arabia"s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), the Kingdom"s organization meant to alleviate the suffering of those in need worldwide, is continuing to provide health services to the injured Yemenis, both inside Yemen and out, the organization said in a statement carried by Saudi Press Agency (SPA) on Monday. KSrelief was established in 2015 by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and has since worked on humanitarian efforts to more than 53 countries around the world, benefiting millions of distressed people. The organization has so far provided transportation and treatment to over 24,000 Yemenis, KSrelief said in the statement. Some 9,279 injured Yemenis have been supported by the center in treatment at both government and private hospitals in the southern part of Saudi Arabia, while more complex cases have been transported to hospitals in the Riyadh and Makkah regions. Over 800 wounded patients have also been transported from Yemen to private hospitals in Jordan, Sudan, and India, the center said. “Among the services provided to these patients are case diagnosis, surgery, rehabilitation and provision of required medications. Other projects meet the medical requirements of special needs patients, provide amputees with artificial limbs, secure housing, food and other essentials, provide cash stipends, and provide additional support needed by patients and their caregiving companions,” the statement read. Yemen is of particular focus to KSrelief, with the organization implementing 344 medical sector projects across the country since its establishment in 2015 with the aim of alleviating the suffering of many Yemenis. The organization had previously signed 10 contracts with private hospitals across Yemen to provide medical services, with KSrelief reporting 9,014 injured Yemenis benefiting as a result.
