Riyadh, March 07, 2019, SPA -- Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional, and international arenas.

Al-Yaum newspaper said in its editorial that the Minister of Media Turki bin Abdullah Al-Shabanah said, in a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, following the Cabinet's session, that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has donated with $ 500 million to co-finance the United Nations Humanitarian Response Plan for Yemen in 2019, in addition to "Imdad" initiative which has been announced since the beginning of this year to support food security and nutrition in Yemen.

Okaz newspaper said in its editorial that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for many years, has been committed to combating money laundering and financing of terrorism as two strategic priorities, and has been working hard to develop and improve regulations and legislation to curb these crimes in all their forms.
