Rabeeah said that sea and land crossings, which are monitored by the Yemeni legitimate government to limit the smuggling of weapons inside the country, are open, affirming Saudi Arabias readiness to support the delivery of humanitarian aid through the port of Jazan and land crossings. The Rome meeting also addressed joint programs and ways to overcome the difficulties facing humanitarian action. The gatherers agreed to review all available alteratives to facilitate the delivery of the humanitarian aid in order to ease the suffering of the Yemeni people. Furthermore, Rabeeah reviewed the Kingdom’s humanitarian and relief efforts provided through the KSRelief in 38 countries, especially Yemen. This came during his meeting with Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Italian House of Representatives Fabrizio Chiquito during which the two parties discussed means of cooperation between the Kingdom and Italy in humanitarian and relief fields.

He praised the role of the Italian government in supporting the Yemeni legitimate government. For his part, Chiquito noted the role of KSRelief in alleviating humanitarian suffering of the needy people in the world without discrimination, based on race or religion.
